‘What is the glitch?’: HC asks Election Commission after six names removed from Goa electoral rolls

The petitioners submitted that the Assistant Electoral Registration Officer informed them that their EPICs had been deleted from the rolls and consequently, their Form 8 applications could not be processed.While hearing a petition where names of six members of a family had been deleted from the electoral roles after their Form 8 applications for address change were rejected, the High Court of Bombay at Goa on Wednesday said the draft roll cannot be the basis for deletion of names from the electoral rolls and that administrative software systems cannot supersede statutory laws.
