A faction of the Trinamool Congress has approached the Calcutta High Court, alleging that a special officer has declined to utilize party funds for its activities.
A faction of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court seeking intervention over a special officer's refusal to release party funds. The petitioner claims that the officer, appointed by the party, has withheld funds that were earmarked for party operations.
According to the petition, the special officer’s refusal has caused financial strain on the faction’s campaign activities and organizational functions. The faction seeks a court order directing the officer to disburse the funds and to provide a transparent audit of the accounts.
The Calcutta High Court has received the petition and is expected to schedule a hearing in the coming weeks. The case highlights ongoing internal disputes within the TMC over financial management and control of party resources.
Political analysts note that such legal challenges may affect the party’s cohesion ahead of upcoming elections. The TMC leadership has yet to respond publicly to the petition.
