Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging Deletion of 47 Lakh Delhi Voters in SIR
The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing on September 21 and 22 to consider a petition challenging the deletion of approximately 47 lakh names from Delhi's electoral roll under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Petitioners, represented by Advocate Prashant Bhushan, allege that the Election Commission has not disclosed the names of 33 lakh voters issued notices for 'logical discrepancies' or being 'unmapped,' nor the reasons for these notices. The petition argues this lack of transparency violates constitutional rights and seeks disclosure of criteria and a searchable list of affected voters.
