West Bengal Legislative Council was the upper house of the bicameral legislature of the Indian state of West Bengal, which came into existence in 1952.[1] The Council was abolished in 1969. The West Bengal Legislative Assembly passed the resolution for the abolition of the Legislative Council on 21 March 1969. Later the Parliament of India passed the West Bengal Legislative Council (Abolition) Act, 1969 for abolishing the Legislative Council with effect from 1 August 1969. Trinamool Congress government planned to revive the council.[2]
