SC upholds SIR, says just because the exercise does not adhere strictly to modalities, it cannot be invalidated
Supreme Court, while delivering the verdict on the SIR exercise in Bihar, upholds the judgment.
Just because the exercise does not adhere strictly to modalities, it cannot be invalidated, the top court says.
The apex court says that SIR falls within the limits of the Representation of the People Act and Registration of Electors Rules. It advances the constitutional principle of free and fair elections, the Court says.
