The Bombay High Court has directed the Election Commission to reinstate the names of six Goan voters whose entries were removed during a SIR drive.
The Bombay High Court issued an order today directing the Election Commission of India (ECI) to restore the names of six voters from Goa who were deleted during a recent Single Election Registration (SIR) drive.
The court noted that the deletions were made without proper verification and that the affected voters had not been given an opportunity to contest the removal.
In its ruling, the court emphasized the importance of maintaining accurate electoral rolls and called on the ECI to take immediate steps to reinstate the names and update the voter lists accordingly.
The decision is expected to prompt a review of the SIR process and ensure that similar errors are avoided in future voter registration drives.
