Supreme Court Backs Bihar Voter Survey, Calls Process 'Voter Friendly' Amid Opposition Protests

Описание: The Supreme Court is hearing petitions challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar ahead of state elections. During the hearing, the court made an oral observation that the process appears 'voter friendly'. Justice Bagchi noted that expanding the number of acceptable identity documents from seven to eleven is more inclusive for the electorate. This comes a day after the court agreed with the Election Commission that Aadhaar is not conclusive proof of citizenship. Petitioners have argued that the SIR exercise is exclusionary and arbitrary, claiming around 65 lakh names have been deleted from the draft voter list. The Supreme Court stated it is examining the technical and constitutional validity of the process, not political arguments, to ensure no citizen is unfairly excluded from voting. #supremecourt #bihar #biharelections #itwebvideos #votersurvey #electioncommission #eci #voterlist #electoralrolls #voterrights #aadhaar #indianjudiciary #newsupdate #indiatoday #legalnews #currentaffairs
