The top court is scheduled to take up the matter for hearing again on Friday.
The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday informed the Supreme Court that it has published the list of those who do not appear in the draft voters’ list for Bihar after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise on the websites of the state’s District Election Officers (DEOs).
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi while hearing petitions challenging the SIR exercise on August 14 had issued a set of directions to the ECI to publish the list.
In an application filed Thursday, the poll body informed the top court that it had complied with the direction.
“In light of the order… the booth-wise list of about 65 lakh persons whose names do not appear in the Draft Electoral Roll has been published on the website of all 38 District Election Officers in the State of Bihar, along with reasons for their non-inclusion in the Draft Electoral Roll, i.e., whether it is on account of death, shifting of ordinary residence or duplicate entries.”
The top court is scheduled to take up the matter for hearing again on Friday.
