The Election Commission has filed appeals challenging the removal of 16.10 lakh voters from the electoral rolls, prompting questions about the legality of its actions.
The Election Commission of India (EC) has lodged appeals against the removal of 16.10 lakh voters from the electoral rolls, a move that has drawn scrutiny from legal experts and political observers. The voters were cleared from the rolls following allegations of irregularities in their registration details. The EC’s appeal seeks to overturn the decision, arguing that the removal process may not have complied with established procedures. The case is now pending in the appropriate court, where the EC will argue that the affected voters were deprived of their constitutional right to vote.
