The Election Commission of India (ECI) has filed a unanimous affidavit before the Supreme Court, firmly defending Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and its handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Commission maintains that all three key SIR orders were approved unanimously by the CEC and both Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. It has also rejected allegations of unilateral decision-making and maintained that Form 6, used for voter enrolment, was not legally amended. But does the affidavit settle the controversy? The Supreme Court has granted petitioners 10 days to file a rejoinder, with the next hearing tentatively scheduled for November 17. The court has indicated that it will examine the allegations and the relevant records. n18oc_plain-speakCNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
