It is not possible for me to continue with this service with effect from 2nd November 2026,â the letter to Chief Justice Ravindra Vithalrao Ghuge reads.Justice Chatterjee told TOI that he consulted fellow tribunal judges, who have voiced similar concerns, before drafting the letter to the chief justice.The letter has been copied to state chief electoral officer Neelam Meena.The SIR tribunals, which function out of SPM Niwas in Joka, are hearing appeals against exclusion of names from, as well as inclusion in, the electoral roll during the SIR.In his letter, Justice Chatterjee has written that he has to travel 70km to and from the tribunal office daily.
