Supreme Court: revised Form 6 neither approved nor rejected

Justice Bagchi said the revised declaration did not exist when the court delivered its Bihar SIR judgment in May, so the Election Commission cannot cite that ruling as approval of the new form. The court will take up the validity question on October 27, alongside the connected petitions on the SIR exercise and the Chief Election Commissioner. (Businesstoday)
