In the West Bengal Panchayat election violence case, the Supreme Court dealt the Mamta government and the State Election Commission a serious blow. A petition opposing the Calcutta High Court‘s decision on the use of centralized troops in the West Bengal Panchayat elections was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
While rejecting the State Election Commission’s appeal, the Supreme Court refused to overturn the High Court’s decision. An appeal against the Calcutta High Court‘s order to deploy central security personnel in each district within 48 hours has been filed with the Supreme Court.
