The Supreme Court's ruling on the request to send paramilitary forces to West Bengal in response to the Murshidabad violence 

A Bench of Justices BR Gavai and Augustine George Masih heard the new IAs and requested an urgent listing and instructions. They also prayed to invoke Article 355 of the Indian Constitution.

In response to the violence that erupted in Murshidabad over the Waqf (Amendment) Act, the Supreme Court on Monday refused to issue any rulings on a plea seeking the deployment of paramilitary troops in West Bengal. 

A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Augustine George Masih heard the case and requested immediate listing and guidance. 

"The paramilitary forces must be deployed right now. Tomorrow is the listed date for this matter. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who represents the petitioner, stated, "I have also filed a supplementary application seeking implementation of Article 355 of the constitution. 

Do you want us to give the President a writ of mandamus to enforce this? We are currently being accused of intruding into the executive (domain). "Please," said Justice Gavai, declining to label the matter as urgent. 

He was referring to the recent backlash against the Supreme Court's ruling in another case where the Court ordered the President and the Governor to sign off on laws passed by the State assembly within certain time frames. 

We are currently being accused of intruding into the executive (domain). 
BR Gavai, Justice

As an application in an already-pending lawsuit, West Bengali citizen Devdutta Majid has submitted a plea seeking the creation of a three-member commission chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge to investigate the violence that occurred in Murshidabad due to the Waqf Amendment Act. 

Additionally, instructions for the Central government to send paramilitary forces to West Bengal have been requested in the plea. 

The hearing for the lawsuit is scheduled for Tuesday.
