The controversy over the special intensive revision (SIR) process initiated by the Election Commission in Bihar has reached the Supreme Court. Responding to objections raised by the Opposition, the apex court issued several significant directions. Among them is the recommendation that documents such as Aadhaar cards, voter IDs, and ration cards should be considered valid for voter verification. The court also stated that if the EC chooses not to accept these documents, it must provide a written explanation.
