New Delhi, Feb 24 The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a plea by the BJP leaders challenging the Calcutta High Court, which directed the state election commissioner to take a decision on the deployment of central paramilitary forces, after examining each of the 108 West Bengal municipalities going to polls on February 27.Senior advocate P.S. Patwalia, appearing for BJP leaders Mousumi Roy and Pratap Banerjee, mentioned the plea before a bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana. He argued that the high court had left the decision on the state election commission (SEC).The bench, also comprising Justices A.S. Bopanna and Hima Kohli, said: "We are now addressing the issue of governance. This is for the election commission to decide".Patwalia pressed for an urgent hearing in the matter on Friday as the polls are scheduled on Sunday. He pointed out that a bench headed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud had heard the matter connected with Tripura municipal elections and passed orders on deployment of central forces.After hearing brief submissions, the bench agreed to list the matter on February 25.The high court had noted the commissioner has to take a decision on deployment of paramilitary forces and if he decides against it, then he will be personally liable to ensure violence-free and fair elections take place.In December last year, the Supreme Court declined to entertain a plea by the BJP seeking a direction to the West Bengal government, state election panel and other functionaries, to come up with an action plan, including deployment of sufficient central police forces, for a free and fair municipal polls in Kolkata.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
