As per sources and ground reports, the voter list revision process under SIR in West Bengal has led to confusion among affected citizens whose names have been reportedly deleted from the electoral rolls. While appellate tribunals are now operational, there remains a lack of clarity on how hearings will be scheduled, conducted, and communicated. Many voters say they only have SMS-based appeal numbers, with no further updates on case status or timelines. Legal experts highlight the absence of a centralized tracking system for hearings and orders, which has added to uncertainty. Reports also indicate inconsistency in hearing formats, with both physical and virtual proceedings being used. The issue has raised broader questions about transparency and procedural clarity in electoral grievance redressal mechanisms.
