                        Summary of this article

During the September 15 hearing, the Supreme Court refused to stay the SIR, affirming the EC’s constitutional authority but cautioned that it would nullify the exercise if any illegality was found.
The EC asserted its “exclusive jurisdiction” over conducting SIRs and announced plans to carry out similar revisions nationwide by 2026, rejecting judicial interference in the process.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear petitions challenging Election Commission of India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar’s electoral rolls. This will be the SC’s first hearing of these batch of pleas after the ECI released final electoral rolls for the state ahead of its upcoming assembly elections.

Earlier the bench had refused to offer any “any piecemeal opinion” on the exercise until it was completed.
