SC Orders Display of Bengal SIR Logical Discrepancy List in Panchayat Offices

• The Supreme Court mandated displaying names from West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) Logical Discrepancy list at gram panchayat, block, and ward offices.
• Notices were issued to 2 crore people for document verification during SIR, with 1.25 crore cases falling under 'logical discrepancy'.
• Logical discrepancies include issues like father's name mismatch, parents' age mismatch, and differences in grandparents' age.
• The court directed the West Bengal government to provide adequate manpower for the State Election Commission and ECI for hearings and ensure law and order.
• Objections to the list must be filed within 10 days, and individuals with unsatisfactory documents must be given a hearing opportunity.
