SC to hear DMK plea challenging Special Intensive Revision in Tamil Nadu on 11 November
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|November 08, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear on 11 November the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)'s petition challenging the October 27 notification issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) ordering the conduct of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu.
Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, heading a bench, said the petition would be listed next Tuesday after an advocate appearing for the DMK mentioned the matter and sought its urgent hearing.
The petition, filed by R.S. Bharathi, the party's Organising Secretary, challenges the constitutional validity of the SIR exercise and seeks to quash the ECI's 27 October notification, which extended the revision process to Tamil Nadu based on its earlier 24 June guidelines. Both orders, the plea contends, violate constitutional provisions and electoral laws.
