<h1>Supreme Court orders Election Commission to explain removal of 6.5 million voters and accept Aadhaar for appeals under SIR rules</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to publish reasons for deleting 6.5 million names from Bihar's electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and allowed affected individuals to appeal with Aadhaar identification. The ruling rejected the Election Commission's earlier refusal to accept Aadhaar as valid proof, enhancing transparency and access for marginalized voters. The opposition party challenged the SIR process, alleging malpractices and vote rigging, but the Court dismissed these claims, resulting in political criticism from both sides. The ruling was hailed by the opposition as a defense of democratic rights and condemned by the ruling party as a failed attempt to obstruct the electoral revision. The decision underscores judicial oversight in electoral processes and the importance of transparency in voter list management under corporate, securities, and insolvency laws frameworks.
