Supreme Court to Hear Petition Challenging Deletion of 47 Lakh Delhi Voters
The Supreme Court will hear a petition on September 21 challenging the deletion of 47 lakh voters from Delhi's electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Petitioners, represented by advocate Prashant Bhushan, allege the Election Commission has not disclosed the names or reasons for notices issued to 33 lakh voters flagged for 'logical discrepancies' or being 'unmapped.' The petition seeks transparency on criteria and calls for a searchable list of affected voters, citing potential violations of constitutional rights.
