A petition filed in the Supreme Court has requested the establishment of a Special Investigation Team to probe Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and to audit the databases of the Election Commission.
A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and audit the Election Commission’s databases.
The petition argues that a thorough audit is necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
The court has yet to decide on the petition, but it has opened a discussion on the need for oversight of the Election Commission.
If the court orders an SIT, it would be a significant move, potentially leading to a comprehensive review of the Election Commission’s operations.
