Summary

India’s Supreme Court questioned the Election Commission’s “logical discrepancy” category in Delhi’s SIR.
Justices told the Commission to let removed voters use Form 8 or enumeration forms, not Form 6.
The bench reported 19.34 lakh voters flagged for logical discrepancy and 33 lakh unmapped.
About 4.3 million ASDD voters were asked to file Form 6 despite being on the 2026 roll.
The Court extended the deadline to Oct 30 and set the final Delhi roll for Dec 4.

History

After the Supreme Court’s 2002 PUCL v. Election Commission order removed about 1.5 million duplicate entries and introduced Form 6, courts have repeatedly reshaped India’s voter lists. In 2025 the Court ordered the Election Commission to publish a 65-lakh-name deletion list and now, examining Delhi’s Special Intensive Revision, it has demanded Form 8 for 19.34 lakh flagged voters, echoing the earlier mandate.
