The Delhi High Court disposed of a petition allowing two voters, whose names were deleted from electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision, to apply for fresh inclusion using Form 6.
The petitioners argued that submitting Form 6 would force them to make a false declaration, because they had previously been registered voters before moving and failing to complete the enumeration process.
The High Court rejected the petitioners' apprehension as misplaced, noting that the suggestion to submit Form 6 came directly from the ECI's standing counsel and that their applications would be processed in accordance with the law.
