> India’s Supreme Court is set to hear petitions seeking the suspension of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged unilateral decisions linked to a nationwide revision of voter rolls. Critics say the exercise has removed millions of eligible voters, while the Election Commission denies wrongdoing. Opposition parties and protesters are calling for Kumar’s resignation.
