Former Judge Seeks Recall of Supreme Court Verdict on Election Commission's Voter Roll Revision
Former Supreme Court judge V. Gopala Gowda has called for the Supreme Court to recall its May 27 judgment upholding the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, describing it as illegal and unconstitutional. Gowda urged the court to review whether the decision had majority approval within the Commission. Congress leaders, including Pawan Khera, cited Gowda's remarks to demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Meanwhile, a group of retired judges defended the SIR as lawful, highlighting ongoing debate over the electoral process.
