The Delhi High Court was on Tuesday informed by the Election Commission of India that it would decide within three months a representation of Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala seeking the electoral rolls for elections held in Haryana and Maharashtra between 2009 and 2024.
Justice Jyoti Singh recorded the submission of the Election Commission of India (ECI) counsel who said since the details related to 2009, it would not be possible to logistically take an immediate decision and sought three months.
"Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of without entering into the merits of the case by taking the stand of the ECI on record that the representation dated December 29, 2024 will be decided as expeditiously as possible and not later than three months from today," the court said.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Surjewala, submitted the ECI hadn't decide the December 29 2024 representation seeking supply of electoral rolls for the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections conducted in Haryana and Maharashtra between 2009 and 2024.
