Supreme Court Considers Limited Release of Frozen Funds for TMC Operations
The Supreme Court is considering allowing limited access to funds frozen in three Trinamool Congress (TMC) bank accounts to support the party's daily operations amid a money laundering investigation. The court emphasized that the freeze remains in place while the Calcutta High Court reviews the case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and TMC dispute the availability of unfrozen funds, with the party citing difficulties in meeting operational expenses. The court has asked the ED to respond on releasing funds under a court-appointed administrator's supervision.
