Supreme Court to Hear West Bengal Electoral Roll Deletion Plea

The India===Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear a fresh plea concerning the deletion of names from electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in India===West Bengal, conducted by the India===Election Commission of India. Senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy presented the plea, arguing that these are electors who had previously voted but whose documents are now not being accepted. The India===Supreme Court of India had previously allowed the deployment of judicial officers from India===West Bengal, India===Jharkhand, and India===Odisha to handle a large volume of claims and objections related to the SIR process, which includes 'logical discrepancies' in voter data. The deadline for the SIR in India===West Bengal was February 28, and the India===Supreme Court of India has emphasized preventing any impediments to its completion.
