Supreme Court and Courts Address Voter Roll Revision Concerns Ahead of State Elections
The Supreme Court scheduled the hearing on West Bengal's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) case for October 5, just before bypolls, despite pending appeals from thousands of voters excluded from electoral rolls. In Bihar and Maharashtra, political leaders and petitioners raised concerns over alleged irregularities and wrongful voter exclusions during SIR exercises, seeking investigations and transparency. The Election Commission reported millions of appeals nationwide, with many unresolved, prompting calls for safeguards and judicial scrutiny to protect voters' rights ahead of upcoming elections.
