The Supreme Court has formally identified 14 procedural errors within a petition submitted by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and a coalition of opposition figures. The petition, which challenges the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and alleges broader electoral irregularities, was found to be non-compliant with standard filing requirements. Among the specific issues cited by the court registry is a financial discrepancy involving a shortfall of Rs 220 in the mandatory court fees.

While the report from NDTV highlights these administrative hurdles, it does not detail the specific nature of the other 13 defects, nor does it provide the response from the petitioners regarding how or when these errors will be rectified. The court's identification of these defects serves as a procedural check, common in high-level litigation, to ensure that filings meet the technical standards required for a formal hearing. As of now, the legal status of the petition remains pending until these administrative corrections are addressed by the legal team representing the opposition leaders.
