What Happened
The Supreme Court Friday directed 65 West Bengal voters, excluded from electoral rolls during Special Intensive Revision despite performing election duty, to approach Appellate Tribunals. Chief Justice Surya Kant's bench refused to entertain their plea, noting petitioners weren't provided show-cause notices before deletion. Tribunals were established to adjudicate such grievances from exclusions.
