Another petition filed by families of two #BJP supporters allegedly killed by #TMC workers will also be taken up by the #SupremeCourt later today.
#WestBengal Govt, through sr adv Sidharth Luthra, points out that post-poll violence matter is already pending before a five-judge bench in the #Calcutta HC and hence, the #SupremeCourt may not need to hear this matter at this juncture.
Luthra reads out the HC order dated May 18, in which HC asked victims of #WestBengal poll-violence to lodge complaints with the National Human Rights Commission that can then send them to the state DGP for appropriate action.
#SupremeCourt gives two weeks to #WestBengal & others to file their replies to the petition & posts the matter thereafter. No order has been passed today. It is a simple adjournment to enable state & other parties file their counter affidavits.
