NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India will hear final arguments on Tuesday concerning a batch of petitions challenging the validity of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls, which was conducted ahead of the crucial 2025 Assembly elections.
A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi had earlier deferred the hearing at the request of the Election Commission of India (ECI), which argued that the matter should be taken up only after the final publication of the revised voter list on October 1.
The ECI has now completed the SIR process, with the final electoral roll listing 7.43 crore electors, including 14 lakh first-time voters.
