Hyderabad Voter List
Ts Election Commission Of India
The Hyderabad High Court on Wednesday asked the Election Commission to go ahead with its plan of publishing the voters list in Telangana, which is heading to the polls on December 7. Last week, the court barred the EC from publishing the revised list of electoral rolls on October 8 and said that it would hear a petition filed by Congress leaders. The court directed the poll panel not to publish the electoral rolls till the hearing on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) is completed. The court directed the Election Commission to file a counter affidavit on the points raised by Congress leader M. Shashidhar Reddy in his petition. The petitioner alleged large-scale discrepancies in the state electoral rolls. He claimed that the names of about 70 lakh voters were missing from the voter list.
