Twelve of the 19 appellate tribunals established in West Bengal in March have resolved 6,581 out of 2.498 million appeals filed against decisions on voter eligibility during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. This represents just 0.26 percent of the total cases. The tribunals, covering 17 districts, accepted 4,043 appeals and rejected 1,267 by May 14. Some remaining cases involved individuals already added to supplementary voter lists before the assembly elections. One tribunal handling Kolkata districts accounted for 27 percent of all resolutions, while high-volume districts such as Murshidabad and Malda recorded minimal progress. The Supreme Court had directed the creation of these tribunals in March to address grievances following the deletion of over 2.7 million names from the rolls. The Election Commission has not yet released comprehensive figures on total filings and outcomes.
