最高法院将审查印度在比哈尔(Bihar)的选民名单修订案, Supreme Court to review India's electoral roll revision in Bihar, amid fears of voter disenfranchisement.

最高法院将于10月7日听取关于印度选举委员会关于对比哈尔邦选民名册特别密集修订指令提出质疑的最后辩论。 The Supreme Court is set to hear final arguments on October 7 regarding challenges to the Election Commission of India's (ECI) directive for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. 请愿者争辩说,这一进程可以任意删除选民,从而可能剥夺公民的权利。 Petitioners argue the process can arbitrarily delete voters, potentially disenfranchising citizens. 欧洲公民倡议坚持认为SIR的目标是清理选民名单. The ECI insists the SIR aims to clean the voter list. 法院警告ECI, 任何被裁定为非法的行为都将使全国适用的整个活动无效。 The court warned the ECI that any illegality found will invalidate the entire exercise, applicable nationwide. 法院最近命令埃科委接受Aadhaar卡作为选民包容的有效身份证明文件。 The court recently ordered the ECI to accept Aadhaar cards as a valid identity proof document for voter inclusion.
