In relation to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in West Bengal (WB), the Supreme Court mandated the Election Commission of India (ECI) to display the names of those on the ‘logical discrepancies’ list at gram panchayat bhavans, block offices of talukas and ward offices.
The Court noted that about 1.25 crores of notices have been sent to various persons, citing discrepancies such as mismatch in parents' names, low age-gap with parents, number of progeny of the cited parents more than six etc.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Joymalya Bagchi passed the order while hearing petitions related to the West Bengal SIR.
The bench said those likely to be affected by the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in West Bengal be allowed to submit their documents or objections. The top court directed that the office for submitting the documents and objections shall be set up within the panchayat bhavans or block offices.
The Court also directed the State Government to ensure adequate manpower to the ECI for the process. The Director General of Police of West Bengal was directed to ensure that no law and order problem arises in the process.
The apex court was hearing pleas alleging arbitrariness and procedural irregularities in the ongoing SIR exercise in West Bengal.
