The Statesman
|March 07, 2026
Following directions from the Supreme Court of India, around 200 judges from neighbouring states will arrive this week in West Bengal to assist in resolving discrepancies in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the state’s electoral rolls.
Sources in the Election Commission of India said that 100 judges each from Odisha and Jharkhand are expected to reach West Bengal on 7 March.
These judicial officers will examine and adjudicate cases related to factual inconsistencies in the voter lists prepared under the SIR exercise.
After arriving in the state, the judges will undergo a two-day training programme before starting their assignments from 9 March.
Once they begin work, a total of 732 judges will be engaged in handling cases linked to electoral roll discrepancies across West Bengal.
According to Commission sources, accommodation arrangements have been made for the visiting judges in areas close to major transit points including the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Sealdah Railway Station and Howrah Railway Station in Kolkata.
