# Supreme Court lets Abhishek Banerjee travel abroad for eye treatment 2026-08-10T10:05:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee to travel abroad for three weeks in September for eye treatment. A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant set aside a Calcutta High Court order that had rejected his plea. The court imposed several conditions. Banerjee must travel only on his diplomatic passport and share his itinerary, foreign address, doctor, hospital, accommodation and flight details with investigating agencies two days before departure. Agencies can use the information for their probe but must keep it confidential. The Calcutta High Court had earlier refused travel permission after Banerjee declined to appear before a medical board at state-run SSKM Hospital for an assessment of whether treatment was available in India. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - indiatvnews.com - freepressjournal.in Tags: Abhishek Banerjee, Calcutta High Court, eye treatment, hate speech case, Supreme Court, travel abroad Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sc-allows-tmcs-abhishek-banerjee-to-travel-abroad-for-eye-treatment/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
