Supreme Court refuses to entertain pleas of those on election duty in Bengal, asks them to move tribunal

The Supreme Court on Friday (April 24, 2026) refused to entertain pleas filed by several individuals from West Bengal, including 65 persons on election duty, against the deletion of their names from the voter list following the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

The apex Court asked them to approach the appellate tribunals constituted to decide appeals against the deletion or exclusion of names from the voter list.

“You have to raise these arguments before the (appellate) tribunal,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi told the counsel appearing for the petitioners in two separate pleas.
