Congress, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and other opposition parties were expecting the Supreme Court to put the brake on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise on electoral rolls going on in Bihar, but their expectations were belied. The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Election Commission to continue with the exercise, but at the same time, it asked the EC to consider Aadhar, Voter ID card and ration card as valid documents for this exercise.
