The Supreme Court declined to grant any relief to the Mamata Banerjee‑led TMC, leading to the freezing of the party’s bank accounts.
The apex court in New Delhi refused to entertain a petition seeking relief for the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and its leader Mamata Banerjee. The order came after the party’s accounts were frozen by enforcement agencies following allegations of financial irregularities.
The court’s decision means the freeze on the TMC’s bank accounts will remain in force, restricting the party’s ability to move funds for its political activities.
Legal experts noted that the bench examined the procedural aspects of the petition but found no merit to overturn the earlier freeze. The ruling underscores the judiciary’s stance on ensuring compliance with financial regulations, even for major political entities.
The TMC has announced it will explore further legal avenues, while opposition parties have condemned the move as politically motivated. The development adds another layer of complexity to the already tense political climate in West Bengal ahead of upcoming elections.
