Supreme Court Justice Bhuyan Warns Against Mass Disenfranchisement of Voters
Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan stated that any process disenfranchising millions of Indian citizens violates Articles 14 and 326 of the Constitution, undermining the constitutional order. Speaking at NALSAR University, he emphasized that the Constitution does not allow two classes of citizens based on voting rights and that voter names cannot be removed without notice and hearing. Justice Bhuyan described voting as integral to citizenship and the nation’s democratic foundation, asserting that no authority or court can override this constitutional guarantee.
