Supreme Court hearing on SIR LIVE: SC Bench asks ECI to file its response to pleas challenging SIR in Tamil Nadu by December 1

The Supreme Court heard pleas challenging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in various States in India, on Wednesday (November 26, 2025). The hearing will continue today.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday (November 26, 2025) tested the role of Aadhaar in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, asking whether a foreigner, who has already managed to use the document to access welfare benefits such as subsidised ration, should be further allowed to exploit it to gain automatic entry into the electoral roll.

The Supreme Court also said that the argument that the special intensive revision of electoral rolls was never conducted before in the country cannot be used to examine the validity of the Election Commission’s decisions to carry out this exercise in several states.
