Karnataka High Court Declines Petition to Extend Electoral Roll Revision Timeline
The Karnataka High Court declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation seeking an extension of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) timeline for electoral rolls, stating that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is the specialised authority responsible for managing the process. The court noted that concerns about Booth Level Officers' training and workload were premature for judicial intervention, especially as the state government had already raised these issues with the ECI. The court emphasized that timeline sufficiency falls within the ECI's domain.
