The Supreme Court directs the Election Commission of India (EC) to decide a dispute over the TMC name and party symbol within three months. The case involves rival factions within the party, each claiming entitlement to the TMC name and its election symbol.
The court also sets a timeline for the parties’ legal process before the EC. According to one outlet, the rival factions get four weeks to complete pleadings after the Supreme Court’s order, after which the matter moves to the EC for its decision-making within the three-month deadline. The reports emphasize the procedural steps and the timetable rather than resolving the underlying claims.
While the outlets broadly agree on the core directive and deadlines, they focus on different procedural details—one highlighting the three-month EC decision period, and the other stressing the four-week pleading window before the EC takes up the dispute.
