<h1>Directive requires EC to share comparative analysis of 3.66-lakh electors excluded after SIR and ensure Rule 21 compliance</h1> The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to furnish, by the next hearing, a comparative analysis identifying the 3.66 lakh electors excluded from the final electoral roll after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar. Petitioners, including opposition parties, challenged the SIR decision and alleged deletions were effected without notice or reasons; the EC responded that most additions were new voters and no excluded elector has filed complaints. The bench emphasized compliance with Rule 21 and the SOP, ordered disclosure to enhance transparency, issued notices on related public-interest pleas including clarification of Form-6, and sought gender/age-disaggregated and office-level data to resolve discrepancies between draft and final rolls.
