The Supreme Court does not allow the TMC faction to operate bank accounts that have been frozen, and instead asks the Calcutta High Court to expedite its hearing on the matter. The court’s direction focuses on timelines for the pending proceedings rather than changing the freeze order.
The two outlets report the same core outcome: the Supreme Court declines the plea to lift or modify the freeze on the TMC faction’s accounts and directs faster consideration by the Calcutta High Court. While the phrasing differs slightly, both accounts emphasize that the dispute remains before the high court and that the Supreme Court’s intervention is limited to urging an early hearing.
Overall, the development does not resolve the underlying dispute over the accounts; it shifts the immediate next step to the Calcutta High Court, which is tasked with deciding the case after an expedited schedule. The reports present no change in the status of the frozen funds following the Supreme Court’s order.
