I-PAC Raids: Calcutta High Court Disposes of TMC’s Petition; ED Says It Did Not Seize Anything From Premises

The Calcutta High Court dismissed TMC's petition after the Enforcement Directorate denied seizing data, attributing its removal to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, with a related Supreme Court hearing set.

  • On January 14, 2026, the Calcutta High Court disposed of the Trinamool Congress petition after the Enforcement Directorate said `nothing was seized` and court records confirmed no material was taken from I-PAC or Pratik Jain's residence.
  • The Enforcement Directorate carried out searches at 10 I-PAC-linked sites on January 8, 2026, probing a 2020 coal-smuggling and money-laundering case while TMC sought protection of its poll data and Mamata Banerjee removed a laptop and files from Pratik Jain's residence.
  • During the hearing, the ED told the court `nothing was seized` and requested an affidavit after ASG S V Raju's submission, while the bench asked for a response.
  • The Enforcement Directorate has taken the matter to the Supreme Court alleging interference by Mamata Banerjee, while the Trinamool Congress filed a writ petition and held rallies and the BJP condemned Banerjee's actions.
  • The High Court docket included petitions from both the Enforcement Directorate and the Trinamool Congress, reflecting a direct legal face-off amid a congested courtroom and adjournment on January 9.
