Supreme Court Update: Rahul Gandhi-Led Petition Faces 14 Registry Objections
The petition seeks an audit panel led by a retired judge to review voter-roll deletions and modifications during the Special Intensive Revision, sources said.
- On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition figures filed a petition that the Supreme Court registry has since flagged for more than 10 defects, blocking immediate court review.
- 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 made during SIR.
- Registry observations identified illegible or missing pages in the petition and flagged a shortfall of over Rs 200 in court fees, requiring immediate administrative corrections before proceedings advance.
- Officials also requested a clear ID card copy for Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, one of the co-petitioners in the case.
- Although the plea seeks a fixed-time independent audit of voter data, the registry must first resolve these procedural errors before the Supreme Court can review the underlying legal claims.
