Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders approached the Supreme Court on 12 October seeking intervention in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Their requests included a pause in the exercise and an examination of voter deletions.
The legal challenge accompanied an opposition march in Delhi. The leaders alleged that the process threatened eligible voters’ participation, while the Election Commission and BJP rejected claims of electoral manipulation.
The petition placed those disputed claims before the court. Filing it did not suspend the revision or establish that wrongdoing had occurred; the court’s subsequent response is a separate development.
