The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted four weeks to the Centre and the West Bengal government to file their response on a plea seeking a court-monitored SIT probe into post-poll violence in West Bengal in 2021.
A bench of Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Krishna Murari asked the parties to place their stand in writing so the petitioners could respond to it.
The top court was hearing a PIL filed by UP-based lawyer Ranjana Agnihotri and social worker Jitender Singh which had also sought a direction from the Centre to impose President's Rule in West Bengal in view of the deteriorating law and order situation due to the post-poll violence.
