People who cannot maintain peace don’t deserve polls: Calcutta high court

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 23 April 2024
The Calcutta HC firmly stated on Tuesday that individuals incapable of upholding peace throughout a six-hour celebration do not merit elected representation. This declaration came amidst the court's disappointment over the confrontations in Murshidabad district of Bengal during the Ram Navami festivities on April 17, which resulted in at least 19 injuries. Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Hiranmay Bhattacharyya underscored that forthcoming Lok Sabha polls slated for May 4 and 13 should be annulled.
