The bench said it cannot entertain an oral request from Guruswamy and if the client had grievances against such alleged enrolment, it could file a fresh plea stating the cause of action and grounds for grievance. “We cannot be entertaining an oral request without any documents before us.”Guruswamy said she did not have any document, but media reports suggested five to six lakh new voters have been included in the voters’ lists.
