<h1>Supreme Court orders Election Commission to disclose details on 65 lakh voter deletions under SIR by August 9</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to provide details by August 9 regarding approximately 65 lakh voters deleted from Bihar's draft electoral rolls under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. The deleted voters' data, already shared with political parties, must also be given to an NGO challenging the SIR order. The NGO sought clarification on whether deletions were due to death, migration, or other reasons, but the Court noted that the draft list's reasons would be clarified later. Allegations were made that many voters were included based on recommendations without proper documentation. The Court emphasized the presumption of genuineness for Aadhaar and voter ID documents and refused to stay the draft roll's publication. It scheduled hearings on petitions challenging the SIR for August 12-13, warning it would intervene if mass exclusion was found. The Election Commission justified the SIR as necessary to maintain electoral integrity by removing ineligible voters.
