SC to Hear State Election Commission’s Plea Against Calcutta HC Order on Central Forces in West Bengal Panchayat Polls

The Supreme Court asked the Security and Finance Committee to control and deploy the central forces throughout West Bengal for elections.

The Supreme Court will hear a defense appealing the Calcutta High Court’s order to deploy the central forces in the June 20 elections. Judges Surya Kant and MM Sundresh agreed to hear the matter tomorrow and left. The National Election Commission and the government of Bangladesh have mobilized the RS to appeal to the Kolkata High Court on the deployment of the central forces. Senior Lawyer No.

Meenakshi Arora, on behalf of the AK and the state government, requested that the petition appealing to the Calcutta High Court be urgently registered.

Senior Advocate Arora notified the Supreme Court that she asked the State Commission of Investigation to withdraw. He said the West Bengal Election Commission has objected to orders issued by Kolkata HC on 13 June and 15 June. however, the National Election Commission refused to consider a request to delay the submission of voter names for its decision.

On 15 June, the Supreme Court asked the Security and Finance Committee to control and deploy the central forces throughout West Bengal for elections. “I am waiting for one more thing to be done,” the court said, noting that until now there has been no effective steps to identify areas of value through law and order and that it will be used in a few days, in line with the SEC’s opinion.

Harming the situation will not help preserve the integrity of the electoral process.” The high court has decided that the central government should send the central military, whose cost will be borne by the state and no compensation will be paid to the state. The court noted that no concrete steps had been taken since 13 June, when the central forces ordered its deployment to the election-affected areas.
