El Tribunal Supremo ordena a los demandantes acudir al Tribunal Superior de Calcuta por el asunto de las raciones en Bengala Occidental

El Tribunal Supremo indicó el 23 de junio de 2026 a los demandantes que debían dirigirse primero al Tribunal Superior de Calcuta respecto a una orden de Bengala Occidental que vincula los resultados de la Revisión Intensiva Especial con el acceso a programas de raciones subvencionadas y nutrición.

Un tribunal presidido por la jueza B.V. Nagarathna y el juez Joymalya Bagchi escuchó el asunto. La Paschim Banga Khet Majoor Samity argumentó que una orden gubernamental del 4 de junio había supeditado los beneficios del Sistema de Distribución Pública y el Annapurna Yojana a las revisiones de las listas electorales bajo la Revisión Intensiva Especial.

Los demandantes afirmaron que esta vinculación podría afectar a entre 3,5 y 6 millones de personas al desactivar tarjetas de racionamiento sin una audiencia previa. Sostuvieron que tales clasificaciones derivadas de ejercicios electorales son ajenas a la Ley Nacional de Seguridad Alimentaria de 2013.

El tribunal observó que primero debe determinar si la causa de la acción surgió del ejercicio de la Revisión Intensiva Especial o de otras razones políticas. Aconsejó a los demandantes que acudieran al Tribunal Superior de Calcuta.
