TMC says SIR deleted more votes than BJP's win margin on 31 seats in West Bengal, Supreme Court responds
TRinamool united states congress (TMC) claimed on mon that deletions in the Special Intensive rescript (SIR) of the electoral undulate materially unnatural the results in certain assembly constituencies in West Bengal.The claim was made during a hearing in the Supreme Court before a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymlaya Bagchi. TMC leader and senior advocate Kalyan Bandhopadhyay submitted that in 31 constituencies, the BJP's winning margin over the TMC was less than the number of persons deleted in the SIR adjudication process, LiveLaw reported.In many cases, the deletions and the loss margin were almost the same, he added.The Election Commission opposed the submissions, saying that the remedy was an election petition and that the poll panel could be held accountable for issues related to the SIR and consequential appeals against the addition or deletion of votes.The Supreme Court bench said that former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and others can file fresh applications regarding their claims."Whatever you want to say about results...which may have materially affected because of deletions which are under adjudication...that requires an independent Interlocutory Application (IA)," Justice Bagchi said.Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy told the bench that at the present rate, the appellate tribunals will take at least 4 years to dispose of the appeals. The CJI said that the priority will be to ensure that appeals are decided expeditiously.
