The Calcutta High Court has declined to entertain on an urgent basis a writ petition filed by the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) seeking de-sealing and reopening of its office at Camac Street, Kolkata.
Justice Rishad Medora, while hearing the matter before the Vacation Bench, observed that there did not appear to be any urgency warranting consideration of the petition by the Vacation Bench.
The Court accordingly directed that the matter be placed before the Regular Bench on November 23, 2026, subject to the convenience of the Court.
The Court also requested the State's Advocate General to obtain necessary instructions concerning the subject matter of the writ petition.
Senior Advocate Sourav Chatterjee appeared for the petitioner, along with Advocates Arko Nag, Agnish Basu, Aditya Roy, Gourav Bose and Kaushik Bandopadhyay.
Advocate General S.N. Mitra appeared for the State, assisted by Additional Government Pleader Ajit Mishra, Junior Government Advocate Madhu Jana, and Advocates Moyukh Mukherjee, Gopal Krishna Sarkar and Puja Sonkar.
At the outset, the Court took on record the affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner.
After hearing the senior counsel for TMC and the Advocate General, the Court observed:
"There does not appear to be any urgency for this matter to be considered by the Vacation Bench."
The Court thereafter directed:
"In view of the foregoing, let this matter be placed before the Regular Bench on 23rd November, 2026, subject to the convenience of the Court."
The Advocate General was further requested to obtain necessary instructions from the State in respect of the subject matter of the writ petition.
The petition concerns TMC's plea seeking de-sealing and reopening of its Camac Street office. The party has approached the High Court in connection with the sealing of the premises by the authorities.
The Court, however, has not adjudicated the merits of the petition or passed any direction permitting the reopening of the office at this stage.
The matter will now be taken up by the Regular Bench on November 23, 2026, subject to the Court's convenience
