New Delhi, Feb. 4 -- West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee is set to appear in person before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, February 4, in Courtroom No. 1, before a Bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, in connection with a plea challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal.

Banerjee has moved an application seeking permission to appear in person before the apex court. Security clearance has been sought for her appearance, as she is a Z category protectee.
