The petition at the apex court in the matter has been filed on behalf of Trinamul Congress by the party's Lok Sabha member, Mala Roy, and the party's Rajya Sabha member Dolan Sen.

The matter is likely to come up for hearing on Tuesday.

The petition was filed just hours after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while addressing the Media persons at Siliguri in Darjeeling district, accused the Union government and the ECI of conducting the SIR in West Bengal hurriedly.
