Former MP Digvijay Singh has approached the Supreme Court, challenging the procedure used to delete names from the SAR, ECi‑Net database and electoral rolls in Bhopal.
Former Madhya Pradesh minister Digvijay Singh has lodged a petition in the Supreme Court contesting the method employed to remove individuals' names from the Special Investigation Report (SAR), the Election Commission's ECi‑Net system, and the electoral roll in Bhopal. Singh argues that the deletion process infringes on the right to be recognized as an elector and violates procedural fairness. The petition seeks a judicial review of the removal criteria and asks the court to stay any further deletions until the matter is resolved. The Supreme Court has listed the case for hearing, and legal experts note that the outcome could set a precedent for how electoral data is managed across the country. No response from the Election Commission has been recorded at the time of filing.
