42 Ex-Judges Defend Election Commission Amid SIR Row

A group of 42 retired judges has written an open letter expressing grave concern over attacks on India's Election Commission and other constitutional bodies. They defended the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls as a legally established exercise, questioned claims of vote theft without evidence, and warned that repeated attacks could erode public trust. The signatories said they had no political brief and that silence was no longer neutral.
