Mahua Moitra vs State of West Bengal — Circuit House accommodation dispute

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra challenged a district requirement for three days' advance booking to stay at the Krishnanagar Circuit House in West Bengal. On 16 October 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the restriction was retaliatory and directed authorities to grant the MP access to the facility upon one day's notice. The court also ordered the state government to cooperate with the MP during her constituency visits for Durga Puja and Diwali.
