NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is set to hear on Thursday a petition filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleging that its recent simultaneous raid and search operations at the office of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) and the residence of its co-founder, Pratik Jain, were obstructed by the West Bengal government and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
A bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Sharma and Vipul M. Pancholi will hear the matter later in the day, as per the causelist published on the website of the apex court.
Seeking urgent judicial intervention in the matter, the ED has claimed that its officials faced resistance during the search operations and were prevented from carrying out their duties in accordance with the law.
