Court tells 12 parties to help excluded voters claim with Aadhaar

The Supreme Court impleaded 12 recognised parties and told them to instruct their booth agents to help excluded voters file claims with any of the 11 documents or Aadhaar. The Commission conveyed this to the CEO Bihar by letter dated 23 August 2025.

The ECI letter of 09.09.2025 refers to Supreme Court directions of '14.08.2025 and 22.09.2025'; 22.09.2025 is after the letter's own date and appears to be a typing error for 22.08.2025.
