KOLKATA: Calcutta High Court Chief Justice Sujoy Paul is scheduled to chair a crucial meeting on Thursday on the publication of the first supplementary list of voters referred for judicial adjudication, which had been categorised under the “logical discrepancy” category.
The first supplementary list on this court is expected to be published on Friday, and the meeting, chaired by Justice Paul, is meant for the last-minute review of the progress of the judicial adjudication made so far.
The meeting will be attended, among others, by the 732 judicial officers involved in the judicial adjudication process, including 100 each from neighbouring Odisha and Jharkhand, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, and his subordinate officers.
“The meeting is also meant to take a stock of the law and order situation in West Bengal before the publication of the first supplementary list in the matter, with an apprehension that tension might break out in different pockets of the state following the publication, ” said a CEO’s office insider.
