Supreme Court Clarifies It Did Not Approve Modified Form 6 Amid Election Commission RowPreviousNext

The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, clarified it did not approve any modifications to Form 6, the voter registration application, amid petitions challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral decisions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The court sought records to identify who made the changes, which included additional declarations related to previous electoral rolls. The Election Commission's claim of court approval was rejected, and the court refused to suspend the CEC pending further review.
