<h1>Supreme Court orders evidence on voter exclusions in Bihar's Special Intensive Revision under election law</h1> The Supreme Court emphasized that the Election Commission (EC), as a constitutional authority, must act according to law during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. The court scheduled hearings for August 12 and 13 to address petitions alleging mass exclusion of voters from the draft list, which is set for publication on August 1. Petitioners claimed approximately 6.5 million individuals were excluded for not submitting enumeration forms, with the EC stating many were deceased or relocated. The court directed petitioners to provide evidence of wrongful exclusions and allowed the EC to continue accepting Aadhaar and voter ID for verification, affirming their presumption of genuineness. Both parties were ordered to submit written arguments by August 8, and the court warned it would intervene if mass exclusion was proven. The EC defended the SIR exercise as necessary to maintain electoral roll integrity by removing ineligible voters.
