Amartya Sen

Sen's ancestral house is at Bolpur in West Bengal’s Birbhum district. The hearing — a part of the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls — is scheduled for January 16 at 2pm.

“There were some logical discrepancies in Sen's enumeration form. We have sent him a hearing notice,” said a poll panel official, requesting anonymity.

Sen is 92. In December, the West Bengal chief electoral officer had directed officials to hold the hearing process for voters above 85 at their residences, if they so request.
