RJD approached the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission order on revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, which is set to go to polls later this year.
Patna:Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) approached the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission order on revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, a state set to go to polls later this year. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal will appear for the RJD in the case and has requested an early hearing on Monday.
On June 24, the poll body issued instructions to carry out the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar to ensure only eligible citizens can vote. It said the exercise was necessitated by rapid urbanisation, frequent migration, young citizens becoming eligible to vote, non-reporting of deaths, and inclusion of the names of foreign illegal immigrants. The EC added that it will scrupulously adhere to the constitutional and legal provisions in revising electoral rolls.
