Supreme Court to Rule on Validity of Election Commission's Special Intensive RevisionPreviousNext

The Supreme Court of India is set to deliver its verdict on petitions challenging the validity of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The petitions, filed by groups including the Association for Democratic Reforms and opposition leaders, question the legality and process of the SIR, which led to significant deletions from voter lists ahead of recent state elections. The court will examine whether the Election Commission had the constitutional and statutory authority to conduct the SIR as implemented.
