'Fed Up, You Are Adding to Court's Burden': Calcutta HC Slams Election Commission

By Regional News25 September 2026

The judiciary expresses sheer exhaustion and frustration over the Election Commission's mishandling of internal disputes.

The Election Commission's credibility is taking a battering on all fronts, including from the judiciary. In a blistering rebuke, the Calcutta High Court slammed the ECI over its handling of a symbol dispute, stating they are 'fed up' with the Commission adding unnecessary burden to the courts. This judicial frustration perfectly mirrors the public's exhaustion. An institution that is supposed to resolve electoral disputes has instead become the primary source of national instability and legal chaos.
