Supreme Court Probes Why West Bengal's SIR Process Faces Unique Hurdles

The Supreme Court, led by Justice Joymalya Bagchi, flagged that West Bengal's Special Summary Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is notably more problematic than in other states. This disparity raises questions about the state's administrative or infrastructural challenges in managing electoral procedures. The court is now considering whether to extend the deadline for freezing West Bengal's electoral rolls to address these unresolved issues.
