3 key quotes from SC hearing explain why Court rejected TMC plea against central govt employees in Bengal vote counting

The Supreme Court upheld the Election Commission of India's prerogative to appoint central government staff as counting supervisors for the vote counting process in West Bengal. The court declined to pass any further order after accepting ECI's submission that TMC representatives will be present during the counting of votes. The court stated that it is up to ECI's subjective satisfaction to appoint the supervisor, and the presence of agents from every party during the counting makes it irrelevant whether supervisors are central government nominees or not.
