Bengal SIR: SC issues detailed directions to ECI on ‘logical discrepancies’ in West Bengal voter revision

New Delhi, Jan 19 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday issued a series of directions to the Election Commission of India (ECI) to ensure that the verification of voters flagged under the “logical discrepancies” category during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in West Bengal is conducted transparently and without causing stress or inconvenience to citizens.
The Court directed the ECI to publish the list of persons who have been issued notices citing “logical discrepancies” in their enumeration forms. These lists are to be displayed at Panchayat Bhavans and Block offices. Noting that approximately 1.25 crore notices have been issued, the Court recorded that discrepancies cited include a mismatch in parents’ names, a low age gap with parents, and cases where the number of children attributed to the same parents exceeds six.
The Court clarified that individuals who have received notices are entitled to submit documents or objections through authorised agents, including Booth Level Agents (BLAs). Such authorisation must be made through a letter bearing the signature or thumb impression of the concerned voter.
