Top Court Relief For Psephologist Who Apologised For Error In Voter Data | Read
The Supreme Court today paused FIRs filed against psephologist Sanjay Kumar amid the massive row over his apology for two posts that alleged significant voter additions and deletions in Maharashtra's voter lists.
Mr Kumar's counsel raised the issue before a bench of Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice NV Anjaria. "This (is a) person with impeccable integrity. Thirty years of service to the nation and to the world. He's highly respected. It was a mistake. He apologised. He deleted and apologised publicly," the counsel said, after which the Chief Justice paused the proceedings.
