NIA probe and retired judges panel
The court is also looking into a serious incident where a gherao of seven judicial officers in Malda was reportedly blocked.
Because of concerns about political interference, the Supreme Court has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to investigate.
Also, a special panel of retired judges has been tasked with creating clear rules for handling complaints about names being removed from the rolls, so everyone gets a fair shot at voting.
