Of 38.31 lakh appeals before the West Bengal tribunals, 16.10 lakh sought deletion of electors whom judicial officers had kept on the roll; the Commission did not say who filed them. In August 2026 Election Commissioner Sandhu wrote asking who had authorised and who had actually filed appeals on the Commission's behalf, recording that neither he, Joshi nor the current West Bengal CEO had been told.
Day of Sandhu's note not reported. The Commission's filing to the Supreme Court (reported 19.09.2026) did not identify who filed the 16.10 lakh appeals. No response from the Commission to this specific question is reported; ECI/PN/119/2026 does not address it.
