The Calcutta High Court has directed the Election Commission of India to explain why the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal is being carried out using a voter list from 2002, calling the data two decades old.
The Supreme Court addressed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, stating, “West Bengal can wait for the time being.” The court chose to focus on Bihar’s voter list issues ahead of elections, delaying West Bengal.
