Election Commission Orders Publication of Discrepancy List by Jan 24

• The Election Commission has instructed the State Election Commission's CEO to publish a list of logical discrepancies by January 24.
• This directive follows a Supreme Court order issued by a bench including Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Dipankar Datta, and Justice Jaymalya Bagchi.
• The list of factual inconsistencies must be displayed at Gram Panchayat, Block Offices, and Ward Offices statewide.
• The Supreme Court's order also mandates a 10-day window for voters to submit documents after the list's publication, with acknowledgment of receipt.
• This process will delay the SIR process, hearing process, and the final voter list publication, with new dates yet to be announced.
