    NEW DELHI: Congress hailed Supreme Court hearing on EC’s revision of Bihar electoral rolls as a significant step, and expressed hope that the poll watchdog will accept additional documents like Aadhaar for voter’s verification.Congress general secretary and MP K C Venugopal said, “It is a relief for the democracy. The matter will now be heard on July 28. Supreme Court has given its views through this that Aadhaar, voter ID and ration card are to be part of the verification process. I think Election Commission will go with this suggestion of Supreme Court. Let’s wait for it.”Lawyer-MP Abhishek Singhvi said, “After extensive arguments, Supreme Court has clearly suggested that three documents, namely Aadhaar, voter ID and ration cards, be also considered by EC in the process of enumeration.”“This is a significant advance. All other merits remain open and time for reply and rejoinder has been given till end of July.”“On the main issue, our contentions are significant and will be considered by the court at a later date. Those contentions included the important point that presumption of eligibility and voter registration has been reversed by EC by putting all the electors existing on the electoral rolls in a state of suspended animation…,” he said.
