West Bengal Elections: SC Rejects TMC Plea On Counting Agents As EC Assures Fair Process In Bengal

Описание: The Supreme Court disposed of the Trinamool Congress's plea challenging the Election Commission of India's decision to appoint central government and PSU employees as counting supervisors in West Bengal. The top court declined to issue any new directions, noting the Election Commission's assurance that existing circulars will be implemented in letter and spirit. During the hearing, the Trinamool Congress narrowed its demand, requesting that at least one state government official be present at each counting table. The Election Commission informed the court that these norms are already being followed, ensuring a state government employee acts as a counting agent wherever a central government employee is the supervisor. The Trinamool Congress had initially raised apprehensions of bias, citing the central government's control over the appointed officials. However, the Supreme Court observed that all officials perform specific duties under the Election Commission's authority, rendering the apprehensions legally unfounded. The hearing concluded without any relief for the political party.
