Election Commission Row: 'There Has To Be A Collective Decision'

Senior Supreme Court lawyer Aryama Sundaram speaks exclusively to NDTV on the legal questions surrounding the Election Commission's SIR process. He examines the reported objections by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi over Form 6, centralisation of electoral-roll data, ERO access and appeals against voter inclusion in West Bengal. Sundaram explains why collective decision-making and transparency matter, whether later ratification can address earlier decisions, and what would legally be required before any question of setting aside election results or ordering a repoll could arise.
