SC urges ECI to act promptly on TMC dispute, warns against delays

The Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant, has warned the Election Commission of India against protracted delays in resolving political party disputes. The bench cautioned that extended delays leave political parties in uncertainty during critical electoral periods.

The court's directive came in the context of the TMC (Trinamool Congress) dispute, with the CJI referencing lessons from the Shiv Sena case to underscore the necessity for timely action by the ECI on such matters.
