Ex-SC judge calls for recall of ruling that upheld SIR's validity

Former Supreme Court judge V. Gopala Gowda called the apex court's May 27 judgment upholding the Election Commission's SIR "illegal, unconstitutional and undemocratic", and said it must be recalled. The court should first ask the EC for all its SIR records, he added, to establish whether the full Commission took the decision with the concurrence of a majority of Election Commissioners.
