Do Courts have any say in preparation of voters' lists? Can they say who should be eligible or not eligible to be included in voter list? Yes

Do Courts have any say in preparation of voters' lists? Can they say who should be eligible or not eligible to be included in voter list?

Yes. They have.

This question has been debated and decided by Supreme Court in case of Supreme Court Bar Association by a bench presided by Justice J.M. Panchal.

If in any government or government-aided institute, malpractices are being done in preparation of Voters Lists, the Courts have jurisdiction to step in and to set things right.
