The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to clarify which documents were considered during the 2003 intensive electoral roll revision in Bihar, reported PTI.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi, hearing a plea challenging the ECI’s June 24 decision to conduct a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the state, said, "We would like ECI to state what documents were taken in the 2003 exercise."

The remarks came after submissions from advocate Nizam Pasha, who, citing the court’s earlier observation, said, "If the date of January 1, 2003 (the date of the earlier SIR) goes, then everything goes."
