The Supreme Court declined to entertain a plea by 91 Akbar Nagar residents alleging removal of their names from UP’s SIR voter rolls. The Court directed District Election Officers to verify the facts and allowed petitioners to approach the High Court if grievances persist.
The Supreme Court of India has extended its interim stay on the criminal defamation case against AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi regarding their 2018 comments on voter list removals. The court allowed BJP leader Rajeev Babbar four more weeks to respond. The trial court proceedings remain on hold until further notice.
