Supreme Court to Hear Pleas Seeking Suspension of CEC Gyanesh Kumar Over Electoral Roll Revisions
The Supreme Court is set to hear multiple petitions on October 5 challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Petitioners allege Kumar acted without the consent of the other two Election Commissioners, seeking his suspension and an independent inquiry. The Election Commission denies these claims, asserting all decisions were unanimous. Protests demanding Kumar's removal have occurred amid concerns over voter disenfranchisement and electoral integrity.
