Supreme Court Dismisses Banerjees' Plea Against ED
News summary

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a plea by Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee and his wife Rujira Banerjee challenging Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons related to an alleged scam in school jobs in West Bengal. The couple argued that they should be questioned in Kolkata, their place of residence, rather than New Delhi. The court, however, ruled that the ED has territorial jurisdiction in Delhi due to an 'adequate nexus' of the offence with the national capital, noting that ₹168 crore was allegedly transferred through vouchers to Delhi, implicating the couple. This ruling also affects other ongoing investigations against Banerjee, including a multi-crore coal pilferage scam.
