West Bengal Polls 2026 | TMC Moves High Court Against EC's Transfer Orders

The Trinamool Congress has approached the Calcutta High Court challenging the Election Commission's decision to transfer senior bureaucrats and police officials ahead of polls. The party has questioned the poll body's authority to move top-ranking state officials outside their jurisdictions, calling the move unjustified. The High Court is expected to take up the matter next week after granting permission to file the case. The development comes amid an escalating face-off between the Election Commission and the ruling party in West Bengal, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee strongly criticising the decision. As the political standoff intensifies in the poll-bound state, the legal challenge is likely to become a key flashpoint, with both sides gearing up for a prolonged battle over administrative control during the election period.
