KOLKATA: The first supplementary list for judicial adjudication of voters classified under the “logical discrepancy category” will be published later on Monday.
As per statistics available from the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, till Sunday night, the judicial adjudication process had been completed for 28, 06, 000 cases, and all these cases will be mentioned in the first supplementary under the “approved” and “rejected” categories.
An insider from the CEO’s office said that roughly 34 per cent of cases whose judicial adjudication process has been completed have been found excludable. However, the voters whose names will be found excludable would have the liberty to challenge that in 19 Appellate Tribunals, especially constituted for that purpose.
To recall, the final voters’ list in West Bengal, minus those 60 lakh odd names which were referred for judicial adjudication, was published on February 28. As per the order of the Supreme Court, supplementary lists will be published periodically on the basis of the progress of the judicial adjudication, the first of which will be published on Monday.
