The draft electoral rolls for Tamil Nadu under the special intensive revision exercise were published on December 19. The petition had noted that the period to file claims and objections during the revision exercise in the state was ending on January 30. The petition urged the court to extend the directions issued in a January 19 order on an application filed by the West Bengal government to Tamil Nadu as well. Besides Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, the special intensive revision of electoral rolls is underway in 10 other states and Union Territories.
