Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging Delhi Voter Roll Deletions in September
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on September 21-22 challenging the deletion of approximately 47 lakh names from Delhi's electoral roll during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Petitioners, including advocate Prashant Bhushan, argue that the Election Commission has not disclosed the names of 33 lakh voters issued notices for 'logical discrepancies' or lack of mapping, nor the reasons for their exclusion. The Election Commission states deletions were due to voters shifting, absence, death, or multiple registrations. The court has prioritized this matter alongside other SIR-related cases.
