Supreme Court Supports Ongoing Bihar Voter List Revision

The Supreme Court has given the green light for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to proceed with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Bihar. This decision comes as a significant relief amidst growing political tension surrounding the verification process.

Court Seeks ECI Response, Next Hearing on July 28th

While allowing the voter list revision to continue, the Supreme Court has requested a response from the Election Commission within a week. The next hearing on the matter is scheduled for July 28th. This provides an opportunity for further clarification and ensures transparency throughout the process.

ECI Assures Fair Process, Addresses Concerns

During the hearing, the Election Commission assured the court that no voter would be removed from the list without being given a fair chance to present their case. This assurance aims to alleviate concerns about potential disenfranchisement and maintain public trust in the electoral process. The ongoing SIR of the voter list has become a major political issue in Bihar, with various parties raising concerns. The Supreme Court’s intervention is expected to provide clarity and ensure a smooth and fair election process.
