1. The appeal arises out of an order dated February 27, 2026 passed by
a learned Single Judge in WPO No. 89 of 2026. The appellant filed the writ
petition challenging the terms and conditions of the Request for Proposal
(RFP) for selection of an agency to provide a surveillance system for live web
streaming (audio, video record, viewing CCTV cameras and other
surveillance) at the general election to the West Bengal Legislative Assembly,
2026. The RFP was issued from the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, West
Bengal. The appellant prayed for setting aside of the RPF dated February 9,
2026, an order restraining the respondent authorities from continuing with
the said RFP and a further order directing the respondents to reconsider,
review and suitably modify the eligibility criteria contained in sub-clause 4
of Clause 4 of the RFP.
