TMC MP Challenges EC's IAS, IPS Officer Transfers in Calcutta High Court

• TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee moved Calcutta High Court against the Election Commission's transfer orders for IAS and IPS officers in West Bengal.
• The petition questions the EC's decision to transfer officers without consulting the state government.
• Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has been named a party respondent in the matter.
• A large number of senior IAS and IPS officers, including the state's chief secretary, home secretary, and DGP, were replaced by the EC.
• The transfers occurred soon after the announcement of assembly polls in West Bengal on March 15.
