Delhi High Court Dismisses Plea on Homeless Exclusion from Electoral Rolls During SIR
The Delhi High Court dismissed a PIL alleging that homeless individuals in Delhi risk exclusion from electoral rolls during the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The court noted that mechanisms exist to include homeless voters without fixed addresses, including categorizing them with house number '0' in draft rolls and allowing submission of Form 6 for inclusion after relocation. The bench found the petitioner's claims unsubstantiated, affirming that the electoral process accommodates displaced persons despite demolition drives in the city.
