The Supreme Court has fixed the date for hearing appeals from voters whose names were deleted from the electoral rolls in West Bengal. The hearing will take place on 16 October.
The appeals were filed by voters who claim that their names were wrongly removed and that they were denied the right to vote. The court is expected to dispose of the appeals early.
The decision comes after the Election Commission of India had removed a number of voters from the rolls, prompting legal challenges. The Supreme Court will examine the grounds for deletion and determine whether the voters are entitled to re‑registration.
