The top court set aside the earlier HC order saying that nominations cannot be filed on social media. The apex court also made it clear that there will be no re-elections in west bengal.

Remember, panchayat polls in west bengal were marred by violence with opposition parties claiming that candidates couldn't even file their nomination papers due to intimidation by tmc.
