In an unprecedented move, West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made an appearance in the Supreme Court on Wednesday to present her arguments regarding the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls in the state.

Draped in a traditional white saree paired with a black scarf, Banerjee was witnessed entering the courtroom accompanied by her legal team, including TMC MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee, as media personnel documented the rare occasion.

The hearing saw the chief minister actively participating in legal proceedings, initially supported by senior advocate Shyam Divan before taking the stand herself. The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 9, where Banerjee's continued involvement is anticipated.
