The Telangana High Court has directed the Election Commission and the state government to respond to a petition seeking the deletion of allegedly illegal non-tribal voters from electoral rolls in Fifth Schedule, or Agency, areas. A division bench led by Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh adjourned the case by two weeks. Adivasi Sena claims non-tribal migrants entered the rolls using manipulated residential documents during the ongoing special intensive revision. The petition seeks strict scrutiny of enumeration forms, gram sabha approval and Integrated Tribal Development Agency clearance for future enrolments, along with training for election officials. The court has not ruled on the allegations or the validity of the revision exercise.
