On May 14, 2026, Mamata Banerjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal and leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), appeared at the Calcutta High Court to argue a case concerning the post-poll violence that erupted following the Assembly election results. A division bench led by Chief Justice Sujoy Paul is hearing the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by advocate Shirshanya Bandyopadhyay on behalf of the TMC. The petition alleges that TMC offices were attacked and that party workers faced violence due to their political affiliations after the elections. Banerjee was seen in court attire alongside TMC leaders Chandrima Bhattacharya and Kalyan Banerjee, reinforcing her commitment to the party and its members. The TMC emphasized Banerjee's dedication to justice and her role as a compassionate leader amidst political strife, particularly in light of the alleged violence attributed to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bengal.
