Supreme Court Directs EC on SIR Discrepancies; Bengal CEO Holds Delhi Meeting

  • Supreme Court orders Election Commission to publish lists of names with logical discrepancies in SIR.
  • Lists must be displayed outside administrative buildings, including panchayat offices, for public access.
  • Affected individuals can appoint authorized representatives, including Booth Level Agents (BLA), to submit objections.
  • State government directed to ensure law and order during hearings and provide adequate personnel for document submission.
  • A 10-day period is allotted for submitting objections after the list's publication; secondary school admit cards should be accepted as proof.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court mandates transparency and accessibility for resolving SIR discrepancies, with EC and state government responsibilities defined.
