The Trinamool Congress has filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court. They are challenging the Election Commission's decision to transfer several IAS and IPS officers in West Bengal. This action followed the announcement of assembly polls. The party questions the EC's authority to make these transfers without state government consultation. The Chief Minister has strongly criticized the move.
