The Supreme Court on Monday (July 28, 2025) pushed harder for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to accept Aadhaar and the Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) as identity documents in the Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR), saying “mass inclusion” and not “en masse exclusion” should be the outcome of the exercise in the poll-bound State.
With three more days left for the publication of the draft electoral roll on August 1, the ECI continued to resist the court’s suggestion, saying Aadhaar, EPIC, and ration cards could be forged easily.
