The Supreme Court on July 10, 2025, declined to halt the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls ahead of Assembly elections. The Bench, while questioning the timing of the exercise in a poll-bound state, directed the EC to accept Aadhaar, voter ID, and ration cards as valid ID proofs to avoid disenfranchisement . It clarified that citizenship determination is the remit of the Ministry of Home Affairs, not the EC . A supporting PIL urged nationwide implementation of such SIRs before elections to ensure voter accuracy and curb unlawful inclusion. (PC: ANI)
