Supreme Court to Hear Pleas Challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's Decisions
The Supreme Court of India is set to hear multiple petitions challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's alleged unilateral decisions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Petitioners claim Kumar acted without the approval of the other two Election Commissioners, raising constitutional and procedural concerns. The court has issued notices to the Election Commission and the Centre, refusing interim suspension of Kumar pending responses. Opposition leaders, including Congress, demand his resignation, citing voter disenfranchisement and constitutional violations, while the court emphasized the need for verified evidence before action.
