Mamata visits Calcutta HC to challenge Assembly election result

Trinamool Congress (TMC) chairperson Mamata Banerjee made a surprise appearance at the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday at noon. Arriving without any prior public notification, the former Chief Minister was accompanied by senior party colleagues Kunal Ghosh and Dola Sen. Maintaining a strict wall of silence, Banerjee did not interact with the media gathered outside the court gates, choosing to walk straight inside the judicial building after completing mandatory entry signatures.

The high-profile legal visit is tied directly to continuing litigation concerning the political landscape of West Bengal following the assembly elections. Legal sources confirmed that Banerjee appeared before the court in connection with a case stemming from post-poll unrest across the state. Additionally, her legal team is managing a formal petition challenging the assembly election results of the Bhabanipur constituency, keeping her actively engaged with the state's highest judicial body.

The unannounced nature of her arrival kept security forces and judicial staff on high alert as she navigated the court corridors alongside her legal counsel. Her presence at the Calcutta High Court underscores the high stakes of the ongoing legal battles that continue to trace back to the intense assembly poll campaigns and their volatile aftermath.
