Trinamool Congress Moves Supreme Court Against Central Govt Employee Requirement For Bengal Vote Counting

Trinamool Congress approached the Supreme Court challenging the Additional Chief Electoral Officer's mandate requiring at least one counting supervisor or assistant to be a central government or central PSU employee for West Bengal assembly election vote counting. The party argues the decision is arbitrary, discriminatory, and creates reasonable apprehension of bias since BJP, their political opponent, controls the central government. The petition claims the timing of the communication and its applicability only to Bengal (not other states with simultaneous elections) undermines free and fair election principles. The Supreme Court agreed to list the matter on Saturday, with a special bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi constituted.

Special Supreme Court bench to hear today TMC plea on counting staff

Trinamool Congress has moved the Supreme Court, challenging a directive mandating central government employees as counting supervisors or assistants for Bengal's assembly election vote count. The party argues this is arbitrary, discriminatory, and creates bias, especially with the BJP at the Centre. They claim it unfairly alters the counting table composition, undermining a level playing field and free elections.
