Supreme Court seeks report from ECI on Form 7 misuse allegations
The Supreme Court has asked the Election Commission of India to submit a detailed report on alleged misuse of Form 7 in Uttar Pradesh, citing concerns over electoral integrity. The commission maintains that all Form 7 submissions complied with legal standards and that any irregularities were swiftly addressed by local election authorities. The allegations stem from a Congress MP who says fraud was widespread during the state’s SIR. The court will review the findings before deciding on further action.
