Babul Supriyo, Union minister of state for heavy industries, got a breather from Calcutta High Court.
The court directed both parties, in an outrage of modestry case filed against the minister, to get the matter resolved outside the court.
Babul had, during a debate in national television, hit out at Trinamool Congress MLA Mahua Moitra, saying that she was behaving like a drunken lady.
A few days later Mahua lodged a police complaint. Kolkata police registered an outrage of modesty case against Supriyo. An arrest warrant was issued against Babul by a local court.
Babul, who refused to mention anything after the High Court order, then said, "Mahua is behaving like a child."
He moved the High Court against the lower court's order.
Justice Bagchi said in her order that court was extending the warrant for two months and both sides are given a chance to settle the issue amicably.
Maitra refused to withdraw the complaint against the minister, saying, "he disrespected a woman".
