The Sabarna Roy Choudhury Paribar Parishad on August 1, 2001 moved to the Calcutta High Court seeking Justice over the matter of baseless regarding Job Charnock as the founder of Kolkata and celebrating the city's birthday on 24 th August, wasting huge amount of public money. The appeal is a public interest litigation where eminent historians, doctors, professors, journalists all have seek the truth of history. The court will hear the matter from time to time.
The Calcutta High Court, in the meantime, formed a historical commission to investigate the truth behind the foundation story of Kolkata. The commission has submitted its 9-page report to the Hon'ble court. The commission comprised five noted historians. They were Dr Nimai Sadhan Bose, Prof. Sushil Chowdhury, Prof. Pradip Sinha, Prof. Barun De and Prof. Arun Dasgupta.
The court, on May 16, 2003, in its historical Verdict, cancelled the name of Job Charnock as the Kolkata founder and also the birth date. At last, we are free from colonialism.
