Sr Adv Menaka Guruswamy: Every state has different framework. We only have 69 SDOs. To become SDO in WB...

CJI: These officers are required to perform sort of quasi judicial function...partially judicially trained mind required...you can't ask a clerk...they are obligated under law to pass speaking order, to reject of accept document it's all judicial exercise. It's not that WB must follow Rajasthan pattern. Issue is if you do not have sufficient Group A officers...you can simply tell them, bring your own officers.

J Bagchi to ECI: Problem is - your officers have little knowledge of Bengali

CJI: SIR has started. Both sides should appreciate sensitivity.
