Calcutta: Calcutta High Court on Thursday stalled the panchayat election process and asked the state election commission to explain by Monday what it had done about the complaints of prospective Opposition candidates being prevented from filing nomination.

"Till the court passes any further order on this issue, the state election commission is directed to stall the election process," Justice Subrata Talukdar said in an interim order on a BJP petition.

This means the poll panel has to freeze the withdrawal of nominations, which was to end on April 16.

"This court would take a stand, including postponement of election dates, after going through the Election Commission affidavit," the order said. The current schedule mandates a three-phase election on May 1, 3 and 5, with the results on May 8.

The judge said the court's objective was not to "interfere" with the election process but to help the poll panel conduct fair elections.

Justice Talukdar's order said: "The commission is directed to state in details in its affidavit about the total number of candidates who have filed nominations, number of candidates left in the fray after the scrutiny and also the number of people who had alleged that they were prevented from filing nominations."
