C. Geetha had moved the apex court after the Madras High Court dismissed her plea. | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Supreme Court on Friday (April 10, 2026) refused to intervene for a woman whose name was deleted from the Tamil Nadu electoral roll in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) even as she reminded the court, as a parting shot, of its promise to step in if the SIR leads to “mass exclusions” across the country. The petitioner, C. Geetha, said her name had been a mainstay in the State’s electoral roll over the years. She was even intending to contest as an independent candidate in the 51-Uthangarai (SC) Assembly Constituency and 52-Bargur Assembly Constituency in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2026.

Civil Society Group Warns of Mass Exclusion Over 2002 Roll Rules

Civil Society Group Warns of Mass Exclusion Over 2002 Roll Rules

Published by Parlour News

2 min readBengaluruApr 2, 2026 06:21 PM IST A civil society group Wednesday challenged the transparency of the Karnataka State Election Commission’s voter roll mapping exercise, warning that the “opaque” process could lead to the mass disenfranchisement of marginalised communities. In a letter dated April 1, ‘My Vote, My Right’ raised alarms over a significant data gap between the 4.46 crore voters reportedly mapped and the mere 19.13 lakh voters who have been officially ‘system and BLO (booth-level officer) verified’. Raising questions about progeny mapping, the group has demanded that progeny mapping of persons above 40 years should also be permitted. “Conducting such a state-wide mapping exercise in such an opaque manner, and refusing to resolve people’s concerns of being excluded from voter rolls, is highly condemnable. Let us reiterate that there are no written instructions or protocols from the Election Commission for conducting mapping,” the letter said. It demanded that the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer formulate and make public the written instructions, guidelines, and protocols for mapping, and publish them on the CEO website. …

Early Box Office Trends: Dhurandhar The Revenge juggernaut continues to roll on with Rs. 55 Cr plus Monday

Early Box Office Trends: Dhurandhar The Revenge juggernaut continues to roll on with Rs. 55 Cr plus Monday

Published by Parlour News

Dhurandhar: The Revenge is looking to collect over Rs. 55 crore nett on its first Monday at the Indian box office, likely around Rs. 56-57 crore nett approx. That marks a 20-25 per cent drop from Friday, which is a very strong hold in general, even more so when it is coming at the level of collections the film has. A Rs. 50 crore nett plus day was largely expected from the advances, and the film has delivered on the same. The film has maintained the weekend pricing on the weekdays, which has pushed the collections to a higher level. Additionally, the dubbed versions of the film have also held very well, especially the Telugu, which will collect over Rs. 3 crore nett, down about 30 per cent from a holiday opening day.  Post Eid, the box office remains elevated in Muslim populated centres, so there is probably some of that boost in play, but the holds are superb even in places where that boost is less or non-existent. Take, for example, Punjab, which has …
