The Supreme Court also said that none of the 11 documents given in Form 6 including Aadhaar card can be deposited, these include documents like driving license, passbook, water bill.
The court also reprimanded political parties for silence on the matter and asked what you are doing to help the voters. You should come forward. The next hearing will be held on 8 September.
The Supreme Court asked the parties- what are you doing
During the hearing, the court asked the Election Commission several questions. Justice Suryakant said- Inaction of political parties is surprising. Out of the 12 political parties of the state, only 3 parties have come to the court. What are you doing to help the voters.
The court also surprised that despite having about 1.6 lakh booth level agents from political parties, only two objections have come from them.

Demand to extend SIR deadline
During the hearing, senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi argued, ‘This issue is not relevant. Everyone should trust the Election Commission. Give us some time, we will put a better picture in front and prove that no one has been excluded.
Advocate Grover opposed this and said, ‘There is confusion on the ground over this whole process. The Commission should release a press release on this and extend the deadline so that fairness remains.
Bhushan questioned, ‘What will happen to 7.24 crore voters? 12% is called BLOS called ‘Not Ricamen’. 36 thousand forms will have to be checked daily, it is not possible. There will be no solution left in such a situation.
