SC seeks ECI’s reply on petitions challenging SIR
The Statesman Kolkata
|November 12, 2025
The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought a response from the Election Commission of India (ECI) on petitions questioning the constitutional validity of its 27 October notification directing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, among other states.
The petitions contend that the exercise infringes Articles 14, 19, 21, 325, and 326 of the Constitution.
The 27 October order initiated the second phase of the SIR process across 12 States and Union Territories (UTs) ~ including Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
While issuing notice, the apex court granted the ECI two weeks' time to submit its response and posted the hearing for 26 November, 2025.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice-designate Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi also directed that all petitions pending before the high courts concerning the SIR in these states, as well as in Bihar, be kept in abeyance for the time being.
