Mamata Vs ED: TMC Moves High Court Against ED Raids At I-PAC Office Citing Violation Of Rights

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has moved the High Court challenging the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) raids on its political consultancy firm, I-PAC. In the petition, the party alleges a violation of fundamental rights under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution, terming the search and seizure a 'colorable exercise of power' under the PMLA. The plea argues that the action is an attempt to interfere with the electoral process ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The transcript highlights that the Chief Minister reportedly intervened during the raid, claiming the documents seized were official party papers. Meanwhile, the TMC has announced a protest march from Jadavpur to Hazra to counter what it describes as political vendetta by the Centre.
