During a hearing on a public interest litigation, the Supreme Court observed that it had not sanctioned any alterations to Form 6, the document used for electoral roll inclusion, during the Special Intensive Revision. The court’s remark came as the petition challenged the Chief Election Commissioner’s alleged unilateral moves to modify Form 6 and revise electoral rolls in states such as Goa and West Bengal without consulting his fellow commissioners.
The bench issued a notice on the plea, signaling concern over the Election Commission’s internal decision‑making process. It underscored that collective approval is required for such changes, and left the question of who authorized the modifications open for further scrutiny.
