Mamata Banerjee Sues Election Commission Over SIR Ahead of Key Meeting

• Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has filed a case against the Election Commission of India and the state's Chief Electoral Officer.
• The lawsuit specifically targets the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
• This legal action comes just before her scheduled meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi on Monday.
