SUNIL KUMAR KORI vs GOPAL DAS KABRA & ORS.ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the right to vote for individuals residing in illegally constructed buildings within a Cantonment area, specifically under Rule 10 (3) of the Cantonment Electoral Rules, 2007 and Section 15 of the Cantonment Act, 2006. The Court held that the Cantonment Board is not obligated to allot house numbers to unauthorized structures but must ensure substantial compliance with electoral roll preparation. The judgment confirmed the necessity of including encroachers in the electoral rolls while also allowing for objections to be raised against their inclusion.
