‘Fed up’, Calcutta HC tells Election Commission it should be impartial

Calcutta High Court expressed frustration at the Election Commission for assigning the ‘envelope’ symbol to a different party. The Indian Secular Front, which won a previous election using this symbol, is now at a disadvantage. Justice Krishna Rao questioned the commission’s impartiality and decisions leading to legal disputes. The ISF’s counsel argued that voters would be confused with this allocation during the bypolls.
