Big Setback For TMC Leader Abhishek Banerjee: Calcutta High Court Refuses Permission To Travel AbroadCalcutta High Court denied TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee permission to travel abroad for eye treatment and dismissed his petition. Why Abhishek Banerjee’s Plea was Rejected by Calcutta High Court? Once the Calcutta High Court rejected his plea on July 20, Banerjee went to Supreme Court to ask for permission for treatment abroad. The apex court did not issue a judgment but instructed the Calcutta High Court to look into the case within seven days and deliver a decision. She also said Banerjee had previously been granted permission to travel abroad in the context of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case.
