SC Rejects Plea Challenging 'Logical Discrepancy' in West Bengal Electoral Rolls

• The Supreme Court declined to entertain a plea challenging the 'logical discrepancy' category in West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
• A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul Pancholi questioned the petitioner for approaching the apex court under Article 32.
• The court observed, "You want us to decide who is your father, your mother and your brother under an Article 32 petition? Go to the Election Commission."
• Md Zimfarhad Nowaj filed the plea, seeking directions that the 'logical discrepancy' criterion was ultra vires Articles 14 and 324 of the Constitution.
• The petitioner also challenged a notice issued to him by the poll panel based on the impugned criterion.
