  "account": "Chief Justice Surya Kant refused to meet with Leaders of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday over their concerns about electoral irregularities, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, and police actions against protestors. The refusal was communicated to the opposition leaders via email, with a response highlighting that their issues would be better addressed through judicial proceedings rather than submitting a memorandum to the Chief Justice. This development follows Congress leaders, including their INDIA bloc allies, planning to march to the Supreme Court on Monday to submit a memorandum regarding their allegations of \"vote chori\" (vote rigging).",
