The Supreme Court registry office has pointed out that there were 14 errors in the petition filed by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and INDIA alliance leaders.
A petition has also been filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of opposition leaders against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that millions of voter names were removed and irregularities took place in the special intensive revision of the voter list.
Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders marched to the Supreme Court in Delhi on Monday (Oct. 12) and filed the petition.
A petition has been filed in the names of Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, Trinamool Congress (Mamata faction) MP Saugata Roy, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Nationalist Congress (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Supriya Sule, Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) leader Sanjay Raut, Communist Party of India senior leader D. Raja, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MP Mahua Maji, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary M.A. Baby, IUML leader E.T. Mohammed Basheer, and others.
In this case, the Election Commission of India, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and the other Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, have been added as respondents.
In this situation, the Supreme Court Registry has pointed out that the petition filed by Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA alliance party members contains 14 errors and that a fee of Rs. 200 has been paid short. It has also been reported that the petition will be heard only after the defects are rectified.
The Supreme Court Registry has pointed out that some of them do not bear the signature of an authorized advocate and that there are insufficient supporting documents. In addition, the Supreme Court Registry has pointed out that a fee of Rs. 220 has been paid short.
In the writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, an explanation has also been sought as to why Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the other Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, were included as respondents. It has also sought Mallikarjun Kharge’s clear identity card.
In this case, it was expected to be heard in the Supreme Court today (Oct. 13), but the petition filed by INDIA alliance leaders, including Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, was not included in today’s hearing list.
