The Election Commission said it is aggrieved with media report of the Madras High Court's oral observations that it is "singularly responsible for the situation prevalent today" and that the Election Commission should face murder charges.

New Delhi: The Election Commission today requested the Madras High Court to restrain the media from reporting on oral observations, days after the court's sharp remarks on "murder charges" on officials of the election body for not stopping political rallies.

It also argued that there was "nothing to suggest" that campaigning was a significant factor in driving any Covid spike in states that were voted versus those that didn't.

In its petition, the Election Commission said it was aggrieved with media reports of the Madras High Court's oral observations that it is "singularly responsible for the situation prevalent today" and that the Election Commission should face murder charges.

"These reports have tarnished the image of the Election Commission of India as an independent constitutional agency that is entrusted with the constitutional responsibility of conducting elections," said the poll body.

It also said a police complaint had been filed against the Deputy Election Commissioner accusing him of murder in West Bengal after the media reported on the observations.

On Monday, during arguments, the Madras High Court had commented: "Your institution is singularly responsible for the second wave of COVID-19. Your officers should be booked on murder charges probably...Were you on another planet when the election rallies were held?"

The stinging rebuke was not part of the court's order later that day, which said: "At no cost can counting become a catalyst for a further surge."
