Telangana High Court seeks ECI’s response over enumeration forms being issued only in Telugu

Telangana High Court seeks ECI’s response over enumeration forms being issued only in Telugu The Telangana High Court on Thursday posted to Monday the hearing of a writ petition seeking a direction to declare the Election Commission of India’s action of printing and distribution of enumeration forms during Special Intensive Revision only in Telugu as illegal and arbitrary. Justice Pulla Karthik of the HC, who heard the contentions of the petitioner’s counsel Raghunath Verose, sought to know ECI’s response from its standing counsel Avinash Desai over the enumeration forms being distributed only in Telugu in the State. Senior counsel Raghunath, presenting his arguments, said Telangana was home to people speaking different languages like Urdu, Hindi, Telugu and English. Usage of enumeration forms printed only in Telugu appeared to be an attempt to delete votes of minorities speaking languages other than Telugu, the senior advocate argued. The SIR-2026 of the electoral rolls in Telangana commenced from Wednesday (June 24). Persons like migrant workers would not be able to comprehend the points mentioned in Telugu enumeration forms, he said. Also, persons whose mother tongue was not Telugu would also have difficulties in filling up the forms. Such language barriers might result in mistakes, omissions, delays and in some instances it would cause exclusion of from the electoral revision process, the advocate said.
