The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear petitions about Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the special revision of India's voter rolls. The pleas question how names were added, deleted and restored during that exercise.
Protests over the revision were held in Delhi over the weekend. Police said the march did not have permission. Protesters said force was used against them.
The court will now look at those decisions. A final order will come only after the hearing.
