Tamil Nadu’s claim of Cauvery backlog and the Supreme Court’s response | Explained
The failure of the southwest monsoon (June-September) this year is the primary reason for the current round of disputes between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
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.
