The Supreme Court refused to entertain an independent candidate’s plea against the rejection of his nomination for the upcoming elections. The candidate was advised to pursue alternative legal remedies, as the Court stated that such matters should be challenged through an election petition rather than at a pre-poll stage. The petition was ultimately dismissed.
The Calcutta High Court today issued an order restraining the BJP from publishing derogatory ads against the TMC due to Election Commission failure. The BJP’s ads violated the Model Code of Conduct and infringed on fair election rights. The Court’s decision aims to safeguard the integrity of the election process until further notice.
