SIR Row Reaches Supreme Court As Pleas Challenge CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Functioning
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) row has moved from the streets to the Supreme Court, with two petitions challenging the functioning of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and decisions linked to the voter-roll revision. The pleas raise questions over 14 SIR-related decisions following objections recorded by the other two Election Commissioners over 10 months, and seek measures including a forensic audit of ECINet and ERONet, an SIT probe, preservation of server data and action against the CEC.
