sir election commission SC issues notice to the Election Commission seeking clarity on the SIR controversy in Kerala. Key hearing scheduled for November 26. Know what the case means for upcoming polls.
The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding the Special Intelligence Report (SIR) in Kerala. The bench sought a detailed explanation from the poll panel and fixed November 26 for the next hearing.
The petitioner alleged that the details linked to the SIR were mishandled, potentially influencing electoral processes in the state. The Supreme Court has now asked the ECI to file a response explaining procedural safeguards and the authenticity of the reported actions.
Legal experts say the court’s intervention could impact how sensitive intelligence-linked documents are used ahead of elections. The Kerala government has maintained that no irregularity took place, while the opposition demands transparency.
The next hearing on Nov 26 is expected to play a significant role in shaping the legal narrative ahead of Kerala’s future electoral plans.
