For seeking an order to cancel the notification issued by the west Bengal government to hold the panchayadt elections later this month, the State Election Commission (SEC) moved to the Calcutta High court.<\/p>\n

The bench of Justice Biswanath Samaddar, where the plea was moved, directed the SEC to file the petition before the court explaining the reason why it was against the state government’s notification.<\/p>\n

The BJP also moved another petition before the bench seeking scrapping of the State Panchyat Act, enacted by the previous Left Front government.<\/p>\n
