SC clarifies no ruling yet on Election Commission's Form 6 changes
What Happened
The Supreme Court clarified that it has neither approved nor disapproved the Election Commission of India (ECI)'s revised Form 6 for voter registration. The court said the modified form did not exist when it heard the Bihar SIR case and therefore its earlier observations cannot be treated as judicial approval or rejection of the changes.
Key Takeaways
The legality of the revised Form 6 remains under examination. The court said it has not yet adjudicated on the validity of the modifications and will consider the issue separately.
