Section 31 RP Act | BLA Undertaking for Enumeration Forms Struck Down; Verification Liability Limited to Photograph Match in SIR : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court quashed the ECI's mandate requiring Booth Level Agents to undertake verification of enumeration forms in Special Intensive Revision, holding that Section 31 RP Act confines BLA liability to photograph matching. The court deemed the blanket undertaking requirement arbitrary as the statutory duty to verify electoral rolls rests with Booth Level Officers, not party-appointed agents.
