Supreme Court Seeks Data on Appeals Disposed by West Bengal SIR Tribunals
The Supreme Court of India has directed the Election Commission to provide detailed data on appeals disposed of and pending before appellate tribunals set up to hear challenges against deletions from West Bengal's electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The court, hearing a plea by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, emphasized assessing the tribunals' disposal rates before considering timelines or restructuring. It declined to address related grievances about denial of public distribution system benefits, suggesting such issues be raised separately in the Calcutta High Court.
