Justice Ujjal Bhuyan Says Voting Rights Cannot Be Reduced to Statute
Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan has sharply questioned the legal framing of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), saying the right to vote or to be a voter is not merely a statutory entitlement flowing from the Representation of the People Act, 1951. His remarks add judicial weight to an intensifying debate over the constitutional character of electoral participation and the limits of administrative power in voter-list exercises.
