Supreme Court Rejects Plea Challenging 2002 Sikkim Electoral Roll Baseline

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a petition that sought to invalidate the 2002 electoral roll as the baseline for Sikkim's elections. The plea, filed by an aggrieved party, argued that the 2002 roll was outdated and should not serve as the reference point for subsequent voter lists. In its judgment, the Court found no merit in the arguments presented and upheld the status quo. The decision confirms that the 2002 electoral roll remains the foundational document for voter registration in the state.
