<h1>Political parties seek two to four week extension of September 1 deadline to file claims in voter roll revision</h1> The Supreme Court will hear on September 1 petitions by political parties seeking an extension of the September 1 deadline to file claims and objections in the special intensive revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls; an earlier administrative error in listing dates was corrected. Petitioners allege exponential increases in filings after a prior order allowing Aadhaar-based claims, contend that local officers have refused Aadhaar-only submissions, and seek extensions of two to four weeks so electors allegedly wrongly deleted can file claims. The bench queried why the Election Commission was not approached; petitioners say their requests were ignored. The EC had earlier been directed to allow online claims and publish exclusions.
