Former Supreme Court Judge Urges Recall of Supreme Court Ruling 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, unconstitutional, and undemocratic. He urged the court to review the decision and request all related records to verify if the full Election Commission approved the SIR. Meanwhile, 42 retired judges defended the SIR as lawful, and opposition leaders, including Congress's Pawan Khera, demanded the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation, citing Gowda's remarks as judicial support for their claims.
