<h1>Party alleges Election Commission refused to accept Aadhaar as 12th ID in special voter revision; panel must verify genuineness</h1> A political party accused the Election Commission of defying a Supreme Court directive to accept Aadhaar as a 12th identity document in a special intensive revision of the electoral roll, alleging refusal to recognise party-appointed block-level agents and deliberate obstacles to voter registration. The Supreme Court ordered the poll panel to permit Aadhaar for identity verification while clarifying it is not proof of citizenship and directing the commission to verify the genuineness of Aadhaar numbers to exclude non-genuine claims. The court instructed the commission to issue necessary directions for compliance during the SIR exercise.
