SC asks tribunal amid disenfranchisement allegations

The Supreme Court told the officers to take their case to an appellate tribunal for now.
Their lawyer pointed out that their EPIC numbers are suddenly invalid.
This whole process has sparked debate, with some accusing the Election Commission and BJP of making it harder for marginalized groups, who might not support them, to vote.
The controversy is raising bigger questions about how fair and transparent these voter list cleanups really are.
