With two days remaining for the second of Assembly election in West Bengal, the Calcutta High Court has requested the Election Commission to address the TMC’s complaint that a police observer in South 24 Parganas district for the Assembly elections met a BJP candidate in violation of norms.

The TMC prayed for the removal of the said officer from the role of police observer in four assembly constituencies — Magrahat Purba, Magrahat Paschim, Diamond Harbour and Falta.

The EC stated before the court that the observer met the candidate in an official capacity in the designated conference room for meetings at a state government-owned tourist lodge in Diamond Harbour, and there was nothing confidential about it as alleged by the petitioner.

Justice Krishna Rao, after hearing the parties in the matter last week, “requested" the Election Commission of India to dispose of the complaint filed by the TMC and to communicate the order to the petitioner.
