The Calcutta High Court, on Tuesday, asked the state government and the State Election Commission to submit a report on the allegations of violence and rigging in the municipal elections held on February 27. The report must be submitted in the form of an affidavit by March 7.
Earlier, the HC rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party’s petition for a stay on the counting of votes polled in the Contai Municipal Corporation elections in West Bengal.
The BJP had alleged that the police and SEC had failed to perform their role to contain rigging and attacksand called for “re-polling” in the state under the supervision of central police forces.
The matter will be heard again on March 11.
