SC asks EC to publish names of voters deleted from Kerala draft electoral rolls

A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant also asked the poll panel to consider extending the deadline, preferably by two weeks, for filing objections against the deletion of names.

The counsel, appearing for the poll panel, said that the issue of extension of deadline will be considered. The bench was hearing a batch of petitions challenging the special intensive revision (SIR) process undertaken in Kerala.

The petitioners include Kerala, senior political leaders such as PK Kunhalikutty of IUML, MV Govindan Master of CPI-M, and Sunny Joseph, alongside the CPI State Council.
