Overview

  • Party functionary Amit Malviya asserted that the court’s order allows Aadhaar to support claims only with other documents and does not treat it as a basis for enrolment.
  • Malviya claimed the 65 lakh deletions from Bihar’s draft rolls targeted fake, dead, Bangladeshi and Rohingya entries, noting 84,305 objections, or roughly 1.3 percent.
  • The Supreme Court directed publication of district and booth-wise lists of omitted names so affected voters can reapply.
  • The court said political parties must assist genuine voters and flagged that 1,60,813 Booth Level Agents had filed only two objections, instructing each BLA to help restore 10 voters daily.
  • The order recorded that 2,63,257 new electors submitted forms upon turning 18 during the Special Intensive Revision.
