Form-7 under Representation of the People Act, 1950 used for voter deletion; petition alleges bulk, fraudulent, targeted misuse
GK and monthly revision
Form-7 misuse: Supreme Court to consider Congress MP’s plea alleging targeted deletions in U.P.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea by Congress MP alleging misuse of Form-7 under the Representation of the People Act, 1950, for targeted deletion of eligible voters, especially from minority and marginalised communities in Uttar Pradesh. The petition claims documented evidence of bulk, fraudulent deletions undermining electoral integrity. This raises critical issues about voter list purity, Election Commission accountability, and protection of vulnerable groups' voting rights. Highly relevant for polity, governance, and social justice sections in competitive exams.
