If you're curious, don't worry: the session will be live-streamed for everyone else.
This move comes after the previous hearing got disrupted—ED accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and police of meddling, while TMC fired back saying confidential documents were taken.
With both sides now also approaching the Supreme Court, all eyes are on what happens next.
