Supreme Court Rejects PIL on Rahul Gandhi's Vote Chori Allegations
The Supreme Court rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a probe by a special investigation team (SIT) into allegations raised by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi regarding anomalies in voters' lists.
"Pursue your remedy wherever you want,"
said Justice Surya Kant. The petitioner was advised to pursue alternate remedies as the Court stated that a writ petition filed in public interest shall not be entertained.
- The PIL sought a probe into allegations of discrepancies in voters' lists in several elections.
- The petitioner claimed that a representation was given to the Election Commission but was not considered.
The Court's decision was made by a Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi.
