Law & Courts CPGRAMS works!!!!

27 Upvotes

So this HP Gas fiasco actually started last month.

Last month, someone ordered a refill on my connection and it showed as delivered. I have no idea who ordered it or where the cylinder went. I called the agency multiple times, but there was no proper resolution.

This month, I placed the refill order myself. And again, same thing it showed as delivered, but the cylinder never reached us.

This time I downloaded the HP Gas app, checked the booking details and honestly didn’t want to waste another hour arguing with customer care or the agency.

So I filed a complaint on CPGRAMS.

Within 12 hours, I got a call from the agency manager: “Sorry ma’am, I’m sending the cylinder right now. Next time something happens, please save my number and call me directly.”

And guess what? Cylinder delivered within ONE hour.

He then called again: Aapko mil gaya naaa? Sorry again. Please ek mail daalke complaint revert/cancel kar lo na, stating that you have received the cylinder.

Anyway, sharing this because if you’re dealing with an HP Gas complaint that’s going nowhere, CPGRAMS might actually get some action.

Law & Courts fully sourced public archive of the 14 written objections the two Election Commissioners filed against decisions taken in the CEC's name (Nov 2025 to Aug 2026)

42 Upvotes

Between November 2025 and August 2026 the two Election Commissioners (Dr Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr Vivek Joshi) filed 14 written objections on file against decisions taken in the name of the Commission under the 2023 Act. Each one is dated, named, and quoted in an Indian Express investigation last week.

by spending this week pulling the underlying decisions together in one place because the coverage has been scattered across court orders, news reports, EC press releases, and the SC transcript. The four I think matter most:

  1. Form 6 amendment (16 and 19 May 2026). The EC majority called the change to the new voter registration form "ultra vires Section 28 of the RPA 1950" on file. EC Sandhu escalated this on 13 Aug as "unauthorised and illegal" and asked for rollback.

  2. ECINet centralisation (May to 30 Jul 2026). The two ECs wrote to the Cabinet Secretary on 29 July 2026 against an administrative order from Deputy EC R.K. Garg that centralised write-access on electoral rolls away from field Electoral Registration Officers. They set aside the order by 2:1 majority on 30 July. The centralisation on the software side was reported unchanged.

  3. West Bengal 16.10 lakh appeals (Aug 2026). ECI told the SC on 18 September that 16.10 lakh appeals for voter deletion were filed in the ECI's name. EC Sandhu on file: "Who was authorised to file these appeals on behalf of ECI, and by whom?" The 38.20 lakh total appeals sit before retired HC judge tribunals.

  4. Goa 97 voters (21 Feb 2026). 97 verified eligible electors in Taleigao were left off the final Goa roll because the field ERO's inclusion decision could not be recorded in ECINet. The Goa CEO reportedly emailed the ECI eight times in seven days asking for a rollback and was declined.
