Former Judges Question Supreme Court Justice Bhuyan's Remarks on Electoral Roll Revision
Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan publicly criticized the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, calling any process that disenfranchises millions of citizens "intrinsically arbitrary" and contrary to the Constitution. Former Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and retired Delhi High Court judges S N Dhingra and R S Sodhi objected, arguing that judicial propriety bars a sitting judge from commenting on matters pending before the court. Bhuyan's remarks sparked debate on judicial conduct amid ongoing petitions challenging the SIR process.
