<h1>Electoral Roll Revision Upheld; Aadhaar Not Citizenship Proof, Form 6 Verification Within Commission's Power, Deletions Need Notice</h1> The Supreme Court, hearing petitions against the Election Commission's special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in multiple states, held that the mere fact SIR was not conducted earlier cannot invalidate the exercise, as the Commission has inherent constitutional power to verify entries in Form 6. The bench reiterated that Aadhaar is not conclusive proof of citizenship and deletion from rolls requires notice. Petitioners argued SIR imposes unconstitutional burdens on illiterate voters, risks arbitrary exclusion, and wrongly allows booth level officers to assess citizenship, which should be decided by competent statutory authorities. The Court fixed staggered schedules for replies and hearings regarding SIR challenges in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal, and proceedings on the broader constitutional issues will continue.
