据印度媒体报道，印度最高法院定于周一审理一批请愿书，要求暂停印度选举委员会主席贾内什·库马尔的职务，理由是他被指控单方面做出了与该国备受争议的选民名册修订相关的决定。
The Supreme Court on Monday is scheduled to hear a batch of pleas seeking the suspension of Election Commission of India chief Gyanesh Kumar over decisions related to the country's controversial voter roll revisions allegedly taken unilaterally, India media reported.
批评人士指出，去年启动的一项名为“特别强化修订”（SIR）的全国选民核查行动，已将数百万合格选民从选民名册中除名，导致他们丧失投票权。在《印度快报》报道其两名同事在长达10个月内就选民登记、删除与恢复以及选民名册数据控制等问题提出了至少14次正式异议，但相关关切未获重视后，库马尔受到了公众的强烈审视。
Critics say a nationwide voter-verification exercise — called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)— which began last year, has disenfranchised millions of eligible voters by striking their names from electoral rolls Kumar has been under intense public scrutiny after the Indian Express daily reported that two of his fellow election commissioners raised at least 14 formal objections over 10 months regarding voter registrations, deletions and restorations, as well as control of electoral roll data, but those concerns were not taken into consideration.
库马尔领导着由三名成员组成的选举委员会，该委员会负责监督选民名册的修订工作。
Kumar heads the three-member commission, which has overseen the voter roll revisions.
印度选举委员会否认存在不当行为，称该程序旨在剔除已故、迁居及重复登记的选民，并防止“外国非法移民”被纳入名册。反对党和批评人士则指控，选民名单的变更有利于总理纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的执政党印度人民党（BJP），但该党对此予以否认。库马尔尚未就针对他的指控发表任何评论。
The Election Commission of India rejects allegations of wrongdoing and says the process removes deceased, relocated and duplicate voters and also prevents the inclusion of "foreign illegal immigrants." Opposition parties and critics allege that the changes to voter lists benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a charge the party denies. Kumar is yet to make a comment on the allegations against him.
据法律新闻网站LiveLaw报道，由印度首席大法官苏里亚·坎特领衔的三人合议庭预计将于周一听取相关请愿，内容涉及库马尔被指控在未获得另外两名选举委员批准的情况下所做出的决定。
On Monday, a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, is expected to hear petitions over the decisions taken by Kumar allegedly without the approval of the two election commissioners.
其中一份请愿书寻求法院裁定，选举委员会主席在未获得另外两名选举委员同意的情况下，不得就选举委员会事务做出决定。
One of the petitions is seeking a declaration that the chief election commissioner cannot take decisions for the ECI without the concurrence of the other two Election Commissioners, legal news website LiveLaw reported.
另一方则要求撤销据称单方面作出的14项裁决，并成立一个独立的司法调查委员会或特别调查组，由最高法院的一名退休法官领导，以调查针对库马尔的指控。
The other seeks a revocation of the 14 reported decisions allegedly taken unilaterally, along with the constitution of an independent judicial inquiry commission or a special investigation team headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court to probe the allegations against Kumar.
此次听证会是在数千名抗议者和反对派支持者在周末于德里和孟买举行集会，要求库马尔辞职之后举行的。
The hearing comes after thousands of protesters and opposition supporters rallied in Delhi and Mumbai over the weekend to demand Kumar's resignation.
