New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the documentation framework adopted by the Election Commission for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, saying it was neither arbitrary nor outside the statutory scheme.
In a landmark judgment reinforcing the autonomy of the poll panel, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi upheld the Commission's authority to conduct the SIR of electoral rolls and said that Aadhaar is not proof of citizenship.
