Supreme Court Reviews Petitions Challenging Election Commission's Voter Roll Revision
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and 10 opposition leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, have filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging alleged irregularities and large-scale voter deletions in the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The court registry flagged 14 procedural defects in the petition, delaying its hearing until corrections are made. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also filed a related plea, which the Supreme Court agreed to hear alongside other petitions. The court has assured listing the matters once defects are resolved, with a tentative hearing date set for October 26.
