Calcutta High Court Disposes Abhishek Banerjee's Plea After Bank Reactivates Account
The Calcutta High Court disposed of Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee's petition after his bank account and debit and credit cards were reactivated following submission of required KYC documents to a private bank. The account had been frozen and cards blocked on August 10, coinciding with Supreme Court permission for Banerjee to travel abroad for medical reasons. The court noted banks should issue notices before blocking accounts and allowed reactivation after Banerjee complied with KYC requirements.
