New Delhi, Feb. 27 -- The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain the objections raised by Trinamool Congress to the Election Commission of India (ECI) imparting training to judicial officers who have been deployed for claims verification in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in West Bengal.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi stated that the ECI's training module cannot supersede the Supreme Court's orders, and that judicial officers must be trusted.
Last week, the Court had directed the deployment of judicial officers to adjudicate the claims in the SIR process, in view of the dispute between the State and the ECI over the appointment of State officers.
