The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear on July 10 a batch of petitions challenging the decision of the Election Commission to undertake special intensive revision of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar.

Several pleas, including by leaders like RJD MP Manoj Jha and TMC MP Mahua Moitra, have been filed in the top court challenging the Election Commission’s order directing for special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

A partial working day (PWD) bench comprising Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Joymalya Bagchi took note of the submissions of a battery of senior lawyers led by Kapil Sibal on behalf of several petitioners and agreed to hear the pleas on Thursday.
