There will be a hearing in the Supreme Court today regarding the special intensive revision of the voter list in West Bengal. But the most special thing during this time will be that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself will be seen cross-examining. Let us tell you that Mamata Banerjee may seek permission from the Chief Justice of India to argue the SIR case herself. He has filed an interim application through his legal team seeking permission from the Supreme Court to present the arguments directly.
Demand to cancel ECI orders related to SIR
In her petition, trained advocate Mamata Banerjee has sought quashing of all SIR related orders and instructions issued by the Election Commission on June 24, 2025 and October 27, 2025. He has also filed a mandamus petition to direct the Election Commission to conduct the upcoming assembly elections on the basis of the unchanged 2025 voter list. They argue that the SIR’s reliance on the 2002 basic list and its difficult verification process is a threat to the voting rights of genuine voters.
