# HC seeks EC stand on Congress plea over voter list checks 2026-08-07T20:30:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Election Commission to respond to a Congress plea challenging the requirement for booth level agents to give a personal undertaking certifying they have verified all details in electoral roll enumeration forms. Justice Amit Bansal issued the notice on a petition by Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Devender Yadav and listed the matter for August 12. The petition argues that neither the Representation of the People Act nor the Registration of Electors Rules empowers the EC to demand such an undertaking. It says the law mandates that electoral registration officers, not private individuals, carry out verification. The plea seeks to set aside the Special Intensive Revision guidelines that impose the personal undertaking requirement, and also wants printed and soft copies of the 2022 rolls and frozen photo electoral roll for Delhi. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Congress, Delhi High Court, Devender Yadav, Election Commission of India, electoral rolls, Special Intensive Revision Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/hc-seeks-ec-stand-on-congress-plea-over-voter-list-checks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
