NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked petitioners to refrain from terming the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by the Election Commission in Bihar as “artificial” or “imaginary.” The top court said that “there is logic” behind the exercise carried out by the poll body.The announcement of special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar by the Election Commission has stirred a fresh political bickering match in the state which is scheduled to go into a high-stakes assembly election at the end of the year.The poll body has taken up the mantle of weeding out foreign illegal migrants from the voting list of six states – starting from Bihar.According to the poll body, it is part of a crackdown on illegal immigrants from countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.“The Constitution of India is supreme. All citizens, political parties, and the Election Commission of India follow the Constitution,” EC said in a statement.The EC said the special revision has already started successfully in Bihar for verifying the eligibility of each elector with “full participation” of all political parties.The poll panel already has nearly 78,000 booth-level officers (BLOs) and is appointing over 20,000 more for new polling stations, it said.(This is a developing story)
