The West Bengal government plans to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Calcutta High Court order that has halted the notification for upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) elections.
The West Bengal government has announced its intention to challenge a recent ruling by the Calcutta High Court. The High Court issued an order staying the notification for the upcoming Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) elections, effectively putting the electoral process on hold. The government argues that the High Court's decision undermines the democratic process and intends to seek a reversal of the order through an appeal to the Supreme Court. The fate of the KMC elections now hangs in the balance, awaiting the Supreme Court's decision on the government's appeal.
