Former Supreme Court judge Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman has warned that democracy is in “great peril” as voters are illegally removed from electoral rolls, flagging what he called the “malfunctioning” of the Election Commission and questioning the process through which election commissioners are appointed, TOI reported on Monday.
Nariman made the remarks on Sunday, a day before the Supreme Court scheduled pleas' hearing linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and a petition seeking the suspension of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged “unilateral decisions”.
