Delhi Shuts Metro Stations and Seals Central Roads Ahead of Anti-Election Chief Protests in India
Entry and exit at six metro stations remained closed as opposition leaders marched to the Supreme Court over alleged voter-roll irregularities.
- On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition figures filed a petition that the Supreme Court registry has flagged for more than 10 defects, challenging alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions.
- Petition addresses alleged large-scale voter deletions during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, seeking an independent committee headed by a retired judge to audit modifications and deletions.
- Registry observations identified multiple filing errors, including illegible or missing pages and a shortfall of over Rs 200 in court fees, requiring correction before proceedings advance.
- Officials requested a clear ID card copy for Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, who joined the case as a co-petitioner alongside other opposition leaders.
- Although the petition seeks a fixed-time independent audit of voter data, the registry must first resolve these procedural defects before the Supreme Court can review the underlying legal claims.
