The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to interfere in the process for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections by restraining the Chief Electoral Officer from issuing notification for the polls. The matter was brought to the Court with an allegation that a large number of bogus voters were set to exercise their franchise.
Justice Vibhu Bakhru, hearing a petition moved by AICC member Naresh Kumar said the electoral process could not be stayed at this stage.
The poll process had to go on, said the Court. The Court said it had already asked the Election Commission (EC) to revise the electoral rolls during the previous hearing on the writ petition and had even asked about the cause of errors.
The issue of several people in the Capital possessing more than one voter cards in their name with different addresses needed to be sorted out, it observed.
