On Friday (February 8), the Supreme Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation challenging the electoral manual provisions that allowed students studying out of their constituency to transfer their names from electoral rolls to where they are studying. This matter was being heard by the bench of CJI Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar. For students studying outside of their resident constituency, he said, they would either have to travel home for voting or else change their electoral location to where they are studying.
