Did Election Commission cross the line over SIR? Supreme court to rule tomorrow

The Supreme Court will deliver its ruling on petitions challenging the validity of the special intensive revision (SIR) conducted by the Election Commission of India. The petitions, led by Association for Democratic Reforms and People's Union for Civil Liberties, argue that the SIR exercise resulted in large-scale disenfranchisement and transformed the Election Commission into a de facto citizenship verification authority without statutory backing. The challenge centres on whether the Election Commission possesses the authority to undertake a de novo reconstruction of electoral rolls.
