Indian Supreme Court judge condemns mass voter roll deletions as unconstitutional

Justice Ujjal Bhuyan of the Supreme Court of India publicly criticized the special intensive revision (SIR) process for deleting voter names from electoral rolls, calling it a strike at the heart of the Constitution. He argued the deletions disenfranchise millions and violate the right to vote without due process. The statement signals potential judicial scrutiny of electoral roll management, though no formal court action is yet reported.
