Hearing two petitions seeking CBI and NIA probe into the clashes on April 13 and 17 in the constituency, a division bench presided by Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam said that if two sets of people are fighting when the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in force, then they do not require any elected representative "because the election will cause another problem."
The Court earlier had earlier asked the Commissioners of Police (CPs) of Mumbai and Mira-Bhayander and Vasai-Virar (MBVV) to take a decision as to whether FIRs for hate speech are to be lodged against the leaders.
A petition was filed in the Calcutta High Court over violence in Murshidabad on Ram Navami. The court asked the state govt to submit a report and urged the Election Commission to postpone elections in Berhampur.
Elections should not be held in those areas where communal clashes occurred on the occasion of Ram Navami, the Calcutta High Court orally suggested on Tuesday.
