<h1>Supreme Court to Hear Challenges on Election Commission's Voter Roll Revision Under Special Intensive Revision Rule</h1> The Supreme Court scheduled hearings for August 12 and 13 to consider pleas challenging the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls. Petitioners must submit written arguments by August 8. Petitioners allege exclusion of eligible voters from the draft list set for publication on August 1, risking disenfranchisement. The Court emphasized the Election Commission's constitutional duty to comply with the law and invited petitioners to present specific cases of alleged errors. The Court upheld the acceptance of Aadhaar and voter ID as valid documents for the SIR process, citing their presumption of genuineness, while noting ration cards are more susceptible to forgery. The Court declined to stay the publication of the draft rolls, indicating a final decision on the pleas will follow after the scheduled hearings.
