Three West Bengal SIR tribunals vacant as ECI awaits Calcutta HC names

Three out of 19 appellate tribunals set up in West Bengal for Special Intensive Revision disputes are vacant as the ECI awaits names from the Calcutta High Court.

Out of 38.3 lakh appeals filed, tribunals have resolved only about 1.02 lakh cases, representing a completion rate under three per cent.

Over 37 lakh voters remain in legal limbo amid approaching local and municipal elections, raising concerns over potential mass disenfranchisement.
