Express investigation: Maharashtra SIR challenged in Bombay HC, seeks restoration of deleted voters
Two writ petitions were filed in the Bombay High Court challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Maharashtra. The petitions demand the restoration of deleted voters and a halt to upcoming Assembly elections until electoral rolls are deemed legally compliant. One petition filed by four registered voters seeks an independent judicial committee investigation into data deletions and software issues during the current SIR process.
The other petition, filed by two Mumbai residents, raises concerns over the collection of documents during enumeration and exclusions based on the "uncollectible" status.
