Bihar SIR Row: Supreme Court Allows Excluded Voters To Use Aadhaar Card As Residence Proof, Pulls Up Political Parties
The Supreme Court on Friday allowed Bihar voters, whose names were excluded from the draft electoral roll, to submit online application for inclusion. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said that any of the eleven documents mentioned by the Election Commission of India (ECI) or an Aadhaar card can be used residence proof.
The observation was made while hearing petitions contesting the ‘special intensive revision’ of the voter list.
The tapex court also pulled up olitical parties’ inaction in not coming forward with the correction of names of deleted voters in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in poll-bound Bihar.
The SC took note of ECI’s submission that 85,000 new voters have come forward in SIR of Bihar, and only two objections have been filed by booth-level agents of political parties.
