Supreme Court Orders Publication of Names Removed from Kerala Draft Electoral Rolls

The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission of India to publicly display the names of nearly 24 lakh voters removed from Kerala's draft electoral rolls following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. This aims to ensure transparency and allow affected individuals to file objections. The court also suggested extending the objection deadline by at least two weeks, acknowledging difficulties faced by voters. Petitions from political leaders and parties raised concerns over large-scale deletions without adequate notice or redressal mechanisms.
