Supreme Court Petition Challenges CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Decisions on Electoral Roll Revision
A petition filed in the Supreme Court challenges Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral decisions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging constitutional violations and unauthorized changes to Form 6 that hinder young voters. Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Rahul Gandhi have called for Kumar's resignation and court action, citing legal overreach. The Election Commission has organized special enrolment camps to address voter registration concerns. The petition seeks a judicial probe and criminal prosecution of Kumar and other officials for alleged breaches of duty.
