The Supreme Court today asked litigants, including Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, to approach the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court with their grievances pertaining to the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi said the exercise had been conducted smoothly across the country except in this state.
Hearing a batch of petitions, the bench said several issues raised were administrative in nature and should be addressed by the Calcutta High Court. The court also took note of submissions seeking extension of timelines for freezing electoral rolls and said it may consider them.
