Exclusion of Aadhaar from Bihar SIR: Supreme Court observes 11 documents better than 7; calls it 'voter friendly'

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 13 August 2025 ()
The Supreme Court has observed that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, requiring 11 documents, is more voter-friendly than the previous summary revision's seven. Despite arguments against excluding Aadhaar, the court highlighted the inclusionary nature of the extensive document list. Petitioners, however, argued that the documents have limited coverage among the population, citing low passport ownership.
