The Supreme Court is set to review a PIL calling for elections to be nullified if NOTA votes outnumber those for any candidate. Activist Shiv Khera leads the plea to give citizens more power to reject inadequate candidates and push parties to nominate better choices. The bench, led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, has summoned the Election Commission to respond. The petition highlights the influence of NOTA in Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi, and Puducherry. This move aims to enhance citizens' rights and encourage improvements in candidate selection processes.
