Kolkatta 9/7: The Calcutta High Court has expressed concern over the pace at which appeals arising from the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls are being decided, observing that it could take around 21 years to clear the backlog if the current rate continues.
The remarks came on Wednesday while the court was hearing a petition filed by a man whose name was removed from the electoral rolls during the SIR exercise, resulting in his passport application being kept on hold.
