Mamata Banerjee moves Supreme Court against EC order freezing Trinamool Congress name, symbol

The arrangement assumes significance in view of the Assembly by-elections to Nandigram and Rejinagar constituencies scheduled for October 6. The dispute over control of the party had reached the Election Commission after the Ritabrata Banerjee faction asserted that the existing organisational structure had ceased to be valid. The Mamata Banerjee camp contested this position and maintained that its organisational structure continues to be valid. The petition by Banerjee before the Supreme Court was filed on September 18 through advocate Abhinav Singh.
