casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court took cognisance of a grave incident in Maldah District, West Bengal, where seven judicial officers (including three women) were gheraoed at a BDO office on 01.04.2026 during Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with delayed police intervention and subsequent stone-pelting on their vehicles. The Court characterized this as criminal contempt and a calculated challenge to judicial authority, directing the Election Commission to deploy adequate central forces, impose strict crowd control measures (maximum 5 persons at work sites), and entrust investigation to CBI/NIA. The Court also issued show-cause notices to state administrative officials and scheduled the next hearing for 06.04.2026.
