The Supreme Court on Monday said it would call for a report from the chief justice of the Calcutta High Court today itself after it was alleged that the appellate tribunals constituted for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in West Bengal were “not functioning”.
Senior advocate Devadatt Kamat mentioned the matter before a bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi.
“This is the West Bengal SIR matter.Your lordships have listed the matter for April 24. The appellate tribunals are not functioning. Lawyers are not being allowed. They are only taking internet and computer-based applications,” Kamat said.
The CJI expressed displeasure that almost everyday, the matters related to SIR in West Bengal were being mentioned before it.
Kamat, however, argued that orders passed by the apex court in the matter were not being followed.
“We will get a report from the chief justice (of the high court) today itself,” the CJI observed.
