Delhi High Court Reserves Verdict on Including Homeless Voters in Electoral Roll Revision

The Delhi High Court has reserved its verdict on a public interest litigation seeking to include homeless and displaced individuals in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The petition argues that the house-to-house SIR may exclude those without fixed addresses due to demolition drives. The Election Commission of India stated it has policies and procedures to enroll such voters, with Booth Level Officers tasked to facilitate their inclusion. The court noted the need for effective implementation rather than judicial intervention.
