Bombay High Court Defers Hearing on Maharashtra Voter List Revision Pending Supreme Court Review
The Bombay High Court has deferred hearing a writ petition challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Maharashtra's electoral rolls for three weeks, citing pending Supreme Court proceedings scheduled for October 8. Petitioners raised concerns about voter exclusions and procedural issues during enumeration, seeking transparency and a halt to voter deletions. The Election Commission of India, represented by senior counsel, informed the court that the Supreme Court is already addressing related legal challenges, prompting the High Court to avoid parallel rulings for now.
