The Supreme Court will on Tuesday (December 2, 2025) will continue hearing on multiple petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls.
Earlier, the Supreme Court sought the Election Commission’s response on a plea filed by Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) founder Vaiko, challenging the decision to undertake the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Tamil Nadu. Several other parties, including the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), have also moved to the apex court against the SIR exercise in the State.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India (ECI), in separate affidavits in the Supreme Court, submitted that 95.65% of electors in Tamil Nadu and 99.77% in West Bengal have already been supplied with pre-filled enumeration forms, dismissing allegations of “mass disenfranchisement”.
