Calcutta High Court Slams TMC Bid Over Central Staff For Bengal Vote Counting

Judge calls bias claims almost impossible to believe

The Calcutta High Court dismissed the TMC’s petition challenging the appointment of central government employees as vote-counting supervisors for West Bengal polls. Justice Rao rejected allegations of bias, saying the claims were “impossible to believe,” and reaffirmed that choosing counting personnel falls under the Election Commission of India’s prerogative, not the party’s.
