No obstruction in SIR process will be tolerated: Supreme Court

  The Supreme Court has taken a strict stance on the special revision of electoral rolls (SIR) in West Bengal, saying that no one will be allowed to obstruct the process. In this regard, the Election Commission had complained that their notices were burnt and no FIR was registered in this matter. In this regard, a petition was also filed regarding the apprehension expressed by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about the exclusion of voters from the list.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant took cognizance of the Election Commission's claim that some miscreants had burnt the commission's notices. On this, the court has ordered the DGP of West Bengal to file an affidavit.

The court has allowed the 8,505 officials provided by the state government to be trained and posted for this task, but has clarified that the final decision on the voter list will rest with the election officials. Appearing for the central government, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that the message should be sent that the constitution of the country applies equally to all the states. On the other hand, Mamata Banerjee's counsel raised concerns that the process could lead to mass exclusion of eligible voters, to which the court assured to issue necessary guidelines.
