Respected Sir,

I/we, as concerned citizen(s) of India, would like to request you to ensure respite for millions of residents of the state of West Bengal who have lost their voting rights as a result of the ongoing SIR process. As a result of this unprecedented exercise, at first 5,46,053 regular voters lost their rights on February 28, 2026 while later on another 27,16,393 people lost their voting rights from the 'under adjudication' category. This huge list of 32,62,446 deleted voters includes people from all religion, caste, and creed, but a significantly disproportionate  percentage are from women and minority categories. 

There are reports coming from all corners of the state that all of them are approaching/have already approached the Hon'ble Tribunal as well as the Election Commission of India to reinstate their names in the said list. However, it appears unlikely that all these appeals will be addressed and the SIR will be completed before the election and in such a situation, I request you to allow all these voters to cast their votes this time, as refraining a legitimate voter from exercising her/his democratic right will go against Natural Justice.

I/we sincerely hope that this appeal will be positively considered and the citizens of West Bengal will get fair treatment from the highest Judicial Body of the country.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
