New Delhi, Sep 20 (PTI) Election Commissioner Sukhbir Singh Sandhu is one of those identified by poll machinery for issuance of notice due to a name discrepancy in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Delhi, officials said on Sunday.
A resident of New Moti Bagh here, Sandhu is a voter of the Delhi Cantonment assembly constituency.
The officials said the former IAS officer was one of those identified to be served notice due to a mismatch in name.
While he has filled out the enumeration form as Dr S S Sandhu, his name exists as Sukhbir Singh Sandhu in the voters’ list, they said.
Though he has been identified to be served notice, no notice has been served on him. The local booth-level officer and the area electoral registration officer will look into the documents to correct the mismatch, they added.
District Election Officer of New Delhi District later clarified that Sandhu’s name was marked under the ‘discrepancy in name category’ due to the information given in the enumeration form with reference to the electoral roll of the last revision.
Notices are being issued to electors whose entries could not be linked with the electoral roll of the last revision and whose entries were found to have logical discrepancies in the process of linking with the electoral roll of the last revision. PTI NAB DIV DIV
