West Bengal: CPI(ML) Liberation Challenges High Court Over Mass Re-verification of 1.69 Crore Caste Certificates

The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation filed a petition at the Calcutta High Court opposing a West Bengal government order mandating blanket re-verification of approximately 1.69 crore caste certificates issued since 2011. The party argued this move is arbitrary, unconstitutional, and improperly links electoral roll revisions to certificate cancellations, threatening marginalized communities' access to reservations and welfare benefits guaranteed under Indian law.
