Amidst the Bihar Assembly elections, a big claim has come to light regarding election strategist turned leader Prashant Kishore. It has been told in a report that Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishore is included in the voter list not only in Bihar but in two states. He is said to be a voter of Bihar as well as West Bengal.

In fact, a report in the Indian Express has claimed that Prashant Kishore’s address in West Bengal is 121 Kalighat Road, which is the office of Trinamool Congress in Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s assembly constituency Bhawanipur.

During the hearing in the Supreme Court on Tuesday (7 October 2025) on the Bihar SIR list, the Election Commission said that no person has objected to the Election Commission so far, only NGOs sitting in Delhi are making noise.

Senior Advocates Prashant Bhushan and Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the court to the petitioners that the names of 3.66 lakh people are missing from the final list and they were not given any information about it so that they could appeal. On this argument of the petitioners, Election Commission counsel Rakesh Dwivedi said that the list was handed over to all political parties.

Rakesh Dwivedi said, ‘We have handed over the list to every political party, but no person is coming to the Election Commission himself. NGOs sitting in Delhi are making noise. These people have not yet filed an application challenging the final list. Are arguing on the old petition.

A bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi asked Advocate Prashant Bhushan where the victims are. Prashant Bhushan demanded from the court that the names of those removed from the list should be made public. He said that he can name 100-200 people whose name is not in the list. He claimed that a large number of people have been removed from the list.

On this argument of Prashant Bhushan, the Election Commission said that arguments and documents cannot be handed over directly to such benches. He said that the petitioners will have to file an affidavit and the Election Commission will answer it. The court asked the petitioners to include special cases in the affidavit. The court also said that both draft list and final voter list are present on the Election Commission website, so that he can find out the names excluded from the list.

Prashant Bhushan told the court that 65 lakh people were removed in the first draft list, but after the intervention of the Supreme Court, 21 lakh people were included. He said that it is not understood that the names added to the list are those which were initially removed from the list or are new names. The court told the Election Commission that the names of the names which have been removed from the list should be given in the District Electoral Office. The Election Commission told the court that most of the voters included in the list are new.

In the ongoing voter list revision program (SIR) in Bihar, now the Aadhaar card will also be accepted as a document. The Supreme Court has said that Aadhaar should also be included as 12th documents by the 11 documents which were declared valid by the Election Commission.

However, the court has made it clear that Aadhaar is just an identity document, it cannot be considered as evidence of citizenship. It is the job of the Election Commission to confirm his citizenship before including the name of a person in the voter list.

Petitioner side emphasized for Aadhaar

All the lawyers of the petitioner side, including senior advocate Kapil Sibal, presented for the main opposition party of Bihar Rashtriya Janata Dal, laid special emphasis on getting Aadhaar in SIR documents. Sibal said, ‘The Supreme Court has also asked Aadhaar to accept Aadhaar as a document, but the Election Commission is ignoring it. The officials who accepted Aadhaar are being sent a show cause notice.

Election Commission protested

Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for the Election Commission, strongly opposed this argument. He said, “The Supreme Court had also asked Aadhaar to accept Aadhaar as a document for 65 lakh people left in the draft list.”

Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi said, ‘The Election Commission is following it. Many people are also uploading the copy of Aadhaar online. The Commission sees Aadhaar as an identity card, it cannot be considered as evidence of citizenship.

‘Intruders should not benefit’

Dwivedi also said that if Aadhaar is included as the only document, it will benefit illegal intruders. On this, Justice Surya Kant, who is presiding over the bench of 2 judges, said, ‘Nobody would want people living in India to be in the voter list illegally. The right to vote is only for Indian citizens.

‘Documents of Aadhaar Voter’s Identity’

The member of the bench, Judge Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, ‘It is clear in the Aadhaar Act that there is no evidence of Aadhaar citizenship, but we have to see Section 23 (4) of the Representation of People Act. In it, Aadhaar has been called one of the documents confirming the identity of the voter.

Court order

On this, the Election Commission counsel reiterated that there is no problem in accepting Aadhaar as a document related to identity. It cannot be considered the only document to include the name in the voter list. After this, the court wrote the order and said, ‘Aadhaar should be considered as the 12th document. The Election Commission can confirm the validity of the deposited Aadhaar. Aadhaar will not be considered as evidence of citizenship. The court said that the next hearing of the case will be held on September 15.

What has happened so far?

Many opposition leaders and NGOs reached the Supreme Court against it. The court refused to stop SIR, recognizing the constitutional and legal powers of the Election Commission.

The time to file an objection/claim on the draft list was only till 1 September, the court did not extend it forward. The final list of SIR is to come on 30 September.
