This report examines the escalating legal battle between the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the West Bengal government. The Supreme Court has stayed three FIRs filed by the West Bengal police against ED officers following searches at the IPAC office. The ED has accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of theft, alleging that she and senior officials 'barged into the IPAC office and taking away files and devices.' The Trinamool Congress (TMC) countered that the ED deliberately targeted the office to access confidential election data. The Supreme Court noted that the petition raised a 'very serious issue relating to investigations by ED or other central agencies and interference by state agencies.' The bench expressed concern over disruptions at the Calcutta High Court, questioning if the court had become a protest site.

India Today Legal Editor Nalini Sharma reports on the Supreme Court's expected verdict on the bail pleas of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The accused have been in jail for nearly six years under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). A bench led by Justice Arvind Kumar reserved the order in December 2025 after hearing appeals against the Delhi High Court's refusal to grant bail. While Umar Khalid was recently granted interim bail for his sister's wedding, regular bail remains elusive. The prosecution maintains the riots were part of a 'larger conspiracy' timed with the US President's visit, whereas the defence argues that prolonged incarceration without trial makes bail imperative. The broadcast also references alleged speeches by Sharjeel Imam regarding the 'Chicken's Neck' corridor.
