<h1>Election Commission must accept Aadhaar as 12th ID for special voter roll revision, allowed for ID not citizenship verification</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to treat Aadhaar as the 12th valid identity document for the special intensive revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls, clarifying Aadhaar may be used for identification but not as proof of citizenship, and permitting the Commission to verify the genuineness of submitted Aadhaar numbers. The court asked the poll body to explain showcause notices issued to officials for not accepting Aadhaar, posted further hearing and instructed the Commission to publish the order. The ruling comes amid disputes over inclusion of alleged illegal immigrants, with the EC maintaining its power to examine citizenship and a final electoral roll publication date set by the Commission.
