SIT probe plea into ‘vote theft’ in K’taka nixed
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|October 14, 2025
THE Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain and pass an order on a PIL filed by lawyer Rohit Pandey seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a former judge to inquire into the allegations raised by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi of large-scale electoral roll manipulation.
“We are not inclined to entertain the petition, which is purportedly filed in public interest,” said a two-judge bench of the top court, headed by Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi.
The apex court, however, said the petitioner (Rohit Pandey) may pursue the matter before the Election Commission of India (ECI), “if so advised,” the bench said.
