‘ ₹220 shortfall in court fee, missing pages’: Supreme Court registry cites 10 defects in Rahul Gandhi's plea
Supreme Court registry flagged more than 10 defects in Rahul Gandhi's petition challenging alleged voter deletions and irregularities in the electoral-roll revision. The petition seeks an independent audit, safeguards against voter removal without notice, and suspension of the ongoing revision.
The Supreme Court registry has flagged over ten defects in the petition filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and others, including a ₹220 shortfall in court fees, illegible or missing pages, and a request for a clear copy of Mallikarjun Kharge's ID card. The registry has also asked for an independent audit of deletions and modifications during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, led by a retired Supreme Court judge and supported by technical experts.
The petition, which names the Election Commission of India, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and other Election Commissioners, highlights alleged large-scale voter deletions and irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls. It seeks the protection of eligible voters from deletion without notice and a reasonable hearing, as well as the suspension of the ongoing SIR exercise while the case is considered.
