Supreme Court Registry Flags Defects in Rahul Gandhi's Petition on Electoral Roll Revisions
The Supreme Court registry identified multiple defects in a petition filed by Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge challenging alleged voter deletions and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Issues included missing or illegible documents, incomplete authorizations, and a shortfall in court fees. The petition seeks an independent audit led by a retired apex court judge. The court may list the case for hearing once these defects are rectified.
