India's Supreme Court has allowed Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee to travel abroad for eye treatment. Banerjee is facing a police case related to alleged intimidatory statements he made during the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election campaign. The court's order permits him to leave the country for the medical procedure. Banerjee, a prominent leader of the TMC, which governs West Bengal, had sought the court's approval for the trip. The exact destination and duration of his travel have not been disclosed. The police case against him stems from statements he is accused of making while campaigning for the state elections. The Supreme Court's decision allows Banerjee to undergo the required eye treatment outside India despite the pending legal proceedings. The case against Banerjee continues, and the court's ruling specifically addresses his travel for medical purposes. The TMC leader's eye condition and the need for treatment abroad have been reported by media outlets. The court's green light marks a development in the ongoing legal matter, which has drawn attention due to Banerjee's political prominence. The alleged statements were made during the election campaign, and the police have filed a case in connection with them. Banerjee will now be able to travel for his medical needs while the legal case proceeds.
