Supreme Court on SIR LIVE updates: Court hears petitions challenging constitutionality of the Bihar SIR
The ECI's actions potentially disenfranchise voters and raise concerns about electoral integrity.
The Supreme Court is hearing challenges to the constitutionality of the Election Commission of India's (ECI) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral rolls. The court has criticized the ECI for causing stress and strain on West Bengal residents due to the SIR exercise, which has resulted in over 1.36 crore people receiving notices regarding discrepancies in their names and family backgrounds. The ECI extended the deadline for filing claims and objections related to the SIR in Tamil Nadu until January 30, 2026. The Supreme Court is considering the scope of the ECI's powers, citizenship, and voting rights implications of this exercise.
