SC asks WB poll officers to approach tribunals on voter roll row

The Supreme Court of India has directed West Bengal poll officers to approach appellate tribunals regarding their deleted voter names. The court reaffirmed that voting rights depend on successful appeals in disputes linked to electoral roll revisions. The poll officers, who were appointed for the West Bengal Assembly Elections, had their names deleted from the final electoral roll, rendering them ineligible to vote. They must first approach the Appellate Tribunals to resolve their disputes.
