Supreme Court Justice Bhuyan Warns Against Mass Voter Disenfranchisement in India
Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan stated that any process disenfranchising millions of Indian citizens is arbitrary and violates Articles 14 and 326 of the Constitution, which guarantee equality and adult suffrage. Speaking at NALSAR University of Law, he emphasized that the Constitution does not allow two classes of citizens based on voting rights and that removing voters without notice or hearing is unconstitutional. His remarks come amid controversy over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which has led to large-scale voter deletions and public protests.
