The Trinamool MP has moved the Supreme Court after the Calcutta High Court blocked his foreign trip for treatment, citing his refusal to undergo a medical check-up at SSKM Hospital. The court’s blunt message: if you won’t let us assess your condition locally, we won’t let you fly abroad. It’s a high-stakes standoff; one that ties medical necessity to legal compliance. With an election-related FIR still hanging over him, Banerjee’s next move could set a bigger precedent: when does health override procedural demands? And can a sitting MP’s medical needs be weighed against ongoing investigations? The SC’s response will be watched closely; not just by political circles, but anyone who’s ever faced a court-mandated medical review. This isn’t just about one man’s eye treatment; it’s about how India’s legal and healthcare systems intersect when politics is in the mix.
