    NEW DELHI: The Election Commission told Supreme Court on Tuesday that those whose names were part of the 2003 Bihar voters’ list would not be required to submit anything and that their children too would be included in the latest list once they prove the relationship.The statement is significant in the context of the charge that the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls being carried out in Bihar would lead to mass exclusion of voters. The last SIR in the state was carried out in 2003.The bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said revision of electoral rolls is aimed at weeding out dubious and bogus voters. “Simply someone is saying on affidavit that he is an Indian and a resident of Bihar, without producing any documentary proof, would he be entitled to be included in the voter list,” it remarked, but added that it would step in to take remedial measures if irregularities are found.Countering allegations of mass exclusion and illegalities in SIR , EC through senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi told the bench that 6.5 crore voters do not have to file anything.
