The Supreme Court of India is set to deliver its verdict tomorrow on a series of petitions challenging the constitutionality of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar. The exercise, which aims to review and update electoral rolls, has been a subject of legal scrutiny. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi had reserved the case for judgment in January. The outcome is expected to have significant implications for electoral processes in Bihar and potentially across the country.
