Supreme Court Notices ECI on Petition Challenging Maharashtra Electoral Roll Revision
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Election Commission of India and the Centre regarding a petition challenging Maharashtra's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The petitioner alleges that around 20 million voters were deleted or struck off due to relocations linked to redevelopment projects in Mumbai and Pune. The court scheduled a hearing for November 5 and assured that no voter will face prosecution for re-registering. The petitioner seeks to pause the revision until the case is resolved.
