What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

The Supreme Court heard a plea questioning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi. The Court noted concerns that notices issued to voters on the ‘doubtful’ list did not provide sufficient reasons or details. Justice Joymalya Bagchi observed that some notices appeared to be machine-generated, while Chief Justice Surya Kant emphasized the need to clarify what information voters must provide regarding ‘logical discrepancies’.
