The Supreme Court is scheduled to commence hearing pleas challenging the Election Commission’s decision to conduct pan-India Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls on Tuesday (November 11, 2025).
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, which is scheduled to commence hearing pleas challenging the poll panel’s decision on the pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, said any fresh matter needs to be mentioned for listing before Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai.
The West Bengal Congress and leaders of other political parties in the State have moved the apex court challenging the Election Commission’s decision on SIR of electoral rolls. Sources said Trinamool Congress MP Dola Sen has also challenged the decision to conduct the SIR exercise in Bihar. On Tuesday, the top court is also scheduled to hear a plea of the DMK challenging the decision of the Election Commission (EC) to conduct the exercise in Tamil Nadu.
On September 30, the EC, while publishing the final electoral list for poll-bound Bihar, said the total number of electors has come down by nearly 47 lakh to 7.42 crore in the final roll from 7.89 crore before the SIR exercise.
