Not Inclined To Direct ECI To Revise Poll Roll: Telangana HC

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court made it clear on Thursday that the validity of the revised electoral roll cannot be examined by a court in a proceeding under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. A division bench, comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, was dealing with a petition filed by Mohammed Feroz Khan, Congress leader from the Nampally Assembly constituency. Khan stated that the revised electoral list published on October 4 was full of discrepancies as regards the Nampally constituency, including having names of bogus voters, those who had moved away or had died. Avinash Desai, senior standing counsel for ECI informed the court that the chief electoral officer has already undertaken the work of revision of the electoral rolls and had published the draft electoral rolls on August 21, wherein he called for objections, if any, from all concerned quarters.
