A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court in favor of the ongoing voter list investigation in Bihar. The petitioner has described it as very important. At the same time, he has demanded that the court order the Election Commission to do so regularly in the entire country. Earlier, more than 10 petitions have been filed against the Special Intensive Revision Campaign of the Election Commission. Now for the first time a petition has been filed in support of this campaign.
This petition has been filed by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay. On Tuesday (July 8, 2025), the petitioner requested a holiday bench of Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Joymalya Bagchi to listen to his petition during the hearing of Bihar case on Thursday (July 10, 2025). On this, Justice Dhulia said that he should remove the technical shortcomings of the first petition. After that the registry will consider putting the case for hearing.
It has been said in the petition that 8 to 10 thousand fake or illegal voters are expected to be in all 243 assembly seats of Bihar. These votes can affect the election results. It is the constitutional obligation of the Election Commission to conduct fair and independent elections. In such a situation, he should be asked to remove the name of fake voters from the list. The petitioner has also said that the population of a particular community in Bihar is about 18 percent, but due to illegal Bangladeshi, Rohingya infiltration in Seemanchal region, the population of that community has increased to 47 percent.
The petitioner has said that in Bihar last time in 2003, there was a special intensive revision campaign. Now after 22 years, a program of investigation and correction of voter list has been started. Such a campaign should be run regularly across the country. Fair elections are the right of citizens of India. Such a procedure is necessary to complete it. This will strengthen democracy. Identification of illegal intruders will also strengthen national security. In the petition, all the states besides the Central Government and the Election Commission have been made.
