The Supreme Court will hear key petitions on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and freezing of electoral rolls in West Bengal before the Assembly elections. The case also covers the “gherao” of judicial officers, with the Court already ordering an NIA probe.
The Supreme Court took serious action after judicial officers were attacked and gheraoed in West Bengal during election roll revision work. The Court called it a “challenge to the authority of this Court” and ordered an independent probe and immediate security deployment.
