"You are responsible for the situation today. No action against political parties taking rallies despite every order of the Court. Your election commission should be put up on murder charges probably," High Court had orally remarked on April 26.

ECI has now stated that media reports on these comments have tarnished the image of the ECI as an independent constitutional agency that is entrusted with the constitutional responsibility of conducting elections.

ECI has submitted that no one must be permitted to report on the proceedings of this Court that are not borne out by the record, especially when the detailed order is made available by the Court.
