A Trinamool Congress councillor on Saturday protested at an SIR hearing centre in Bhowanipore after officials failed to provide receipts to voters submitting documents, despite a Supreme Court directive mandating the practice. ADVERTISEMENT“I asked them whether they thought they could defy even the Supreme Court. Bose said he spoke to the electoral registration officer (ERO) of the constituency and reiterated that Supreme Court orders could not be ignored. Voters across the city have, however, said procedures varied from centre to centre, with no uniform method being followed. At the Bhowanipore SIR centre on Saturday, Bose was heard telling voters to insist on receipts for documents submitted.
