A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking criminal action against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged unilateral decisions concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The petition claims that several decisions were taken despite objections from Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. It challenges changes to electoral software and procedures related to Form 6, seeking to declare decisions taken without the Commission’s concurrence invalid. The plea also seeks action against other Election Commission officials allegedly involved. The allegations are yet to be established in court. (PC: India Today)
