The Calcutta High Court declined an urgent hearing on the Trinamool Congress’s plea challenging the freezing of its bank accounts after authorities imposed a debit freeze on three accounts. The action followed complaints by rebel MLAs seeking an investigation into the source of funds deposited in the party’s accounts.
The Trinamool Congress moved the Calcutta High Court against the freezing of its bank accounts, but the court refused an urgent hearing. Days earlier, three HDFC Bank accounts allegedly linked to the party, holding nearly Rs.440 crore, were frozen after a dispute over the party treasurer’s claim.
