Overview

  • A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi refused to entertain the public interest plea and disposed of the case.
  • Petitioner Rohit Pandey had sought a court‑monitored SIT led by a retired judge to investigate alleged irregularities in Bengaluru Central and elsewhere.
  • The court declined requests to halt further revision or finalisation of electoral rolls and did not order guidelines or audits, directing remedies to the ECI instead.
  • The petition cited purported anomalies in Mahadevapura, including about 40,009 invalid entries and 10,452 duplicates, plus duplicate EPIC numbers and bulk registrations at single addresses.
  • It also flagged a sharp rise of roughly 39 lakh voter additions in Maharashtra after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, while noting earlier ECI demands that Rahul Gandhi submit detailed names and a sworn affidavit on his claims.
