The Supreme Court on Friday refused to extend the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) September 1 deadline for filing claims and objections under the Special Summary Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar. The Court directed political parties to actively cooperate with the process through their representatives.
During the hearing, the ECI informed the Court that claims and objections could still be submitted beyond September 1, and any valid applications would be considered until the finalisation of the electoral rolls.
