‘If SIR excludes citizens from voters list, what is its purpose?’: Bombay HC to EC

Bombay High Court recently questioned the Election Commission regarding the removal of Indian citizens from electoral rolls. The court highlighted the importance of ensuring only citizens are on these rolls during special revisions. Justices emphasized that the process must not result in falsely excluding eligible voters. The Election Commission’s guidelines and requirements for form submissions were scrutinized for being inadequate. The hearing on this matter will continue in subsequent sessions.
