The BJP on Monday approached the Supreme Court seeking permission to hold its Rath Yatra in West Bengal.

The party has challenged the order of the division bench of the Calcutta High Court which had set aside the order of a single judge allowing the Rath Yatra.

An official of the apex court registry said it has received an appeal from the BJP against the high court division bench's order.

The officials said the petition is under scrutiny.

The BJP has sought an urgent hearing of its special leave petition.

The Calcutta High Court last week, had quashed the single bench order that allowed BJP's 'Rath Yatra' in West Bengal.

The Division bench comprising Chief Justice Debasish Kargupta and Justice Shampa Sarkar send the case back to the single bench to consider intelligence inputs by state agencies.

The two judges' bench order came after hearing an appeal moved by the state government, challenging the Thursday order of the single bench.
