Vacation judge Justice Rishad Medora refused to pass orders on the plea, which sought directions to the state police to de-seal the office and restore the party's access to it. The judge concluded that no immediate urgency was made out for the case to be considered by the vacation bench.

"There does not appear to be any urgency in this matter for it to be considered by the vacation bench," the court said, listing the matter before the regular bench on November 23, 2026, subject to the convenience of the court. The case is titled All India Trinamool Congress v. State of West Bengal and Ors.

In its plea, the TMC alleged that the vandalisation of the Camac Street office was carried out with the backing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after its win in the 2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly elections, and that the masked individuals ransacked the office and threatened and unlawfully detained office staff. These are allegations made in the petition; they have not been established.

The State was represented by Advocate General Surojit Nath Mitra. The plea will now be heard by the regular bench on November 23, when the court will consider the party's request to restore access to the sealed office.
