Bihar SIR: SC asks EC to reconsider Aadhaar and election ID

The Supreme Court urged the Election Commission to consider Aadhaar and voter ID cards as valid identity proofs during Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision. Petitioners, including ADR, raised concerns about the exercise’s legality and potential disenfranchisement, alleging arbitrary practices and violations of constitutional rights. Despite the EC’s claims of high voter participation, reports suggest irregularities and potential fraud in the process.
