SC upholds HC order on TMC's ₹440-cr frozen accounts, calls restrictions 'balanced'

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's order restricting access to three TMC bank accounts containing around ₹440 crore, calling the order "balanced". The accounts were frozen by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) during a money-laundering probe. TMC had sought unrestricted access, citing difficulties in meeting salaries and routine expenses, but the court declined interim relief.
