<h1>Sept 8 pleas seek two-to-four week extension of Sept 1 deadline for SIR claims after Aadhaar-driven surge</h1> The Supreme Court will hear on September 8 interlocutory pleas by two political parties seeking extension of the September 1 deadline to file claims and objections in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls; the petitions allege a surge in filings after the court permitted Aadhaar and online submissions and claim election officials are refusing Aadhaar-only claims contrary to court orders. Petitioners cite explosive increases in claims (from ~84,000 to ~179,000 within days) and argue non-extension will bar genuinely deleted electors from voting; they seek two-to-four week extensions. The bench queried why relief was not sought from the Election Commission, which the petitioners say ignored them.
