Supreme Court Flags Defects in Rahul Gandhi's Petition on Voter Deletions
The Supreme Court registry has identified over 10 defects in a petition filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and others regarding alleged voter deletions and irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Key issues include a ₹220 shortfall in court fees, missing documents, and requests for clearer copies of identification. The petition seeks an independent audit led by a retired Supreme Court judge and calls for the suspension of the ongoing SIR exercise. It also requests access to Election Commission files and safeguards against the deletion of eligible voters without notice. The petition names the Election Commission of India and its officials as respondents.
