The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Election Commission (EC) to provide it with the details of 3.66 lakh excluded voters from the final electoral roll prepared after Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The EC informed the apex court that most of the names added are of new voters and that no complaint or appeal has been filed till now by any excluded voter.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the poll panel will submit whatever information it gets on excluded voters by Thursday (October 9), when it will conduct further hearing. The top court said everyone has the draft electoral roll and the final list has also been published on September 30, so the required data can be furnished through a comparative analysis.
