The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee to travel abroad for three weeks in September for eye treatment, subject to certain conditions.

A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant permitted Banerjee to travel on his diplomatic passport and directed him to provide investigating agencies with details of his itinerary, overseas address, treating doctor and hospital, duration of stay and flight information.

The court also directed the investigating agencies to keep the information provided by Banerjee confidential.

Banerjee had approached the Supreme Court challenging a Calcutta High Court order that refused to lift restrictions on his foreign travel in connection with a case related to an alleged inflammatory speech.
