In short

On Monday, the Supreme Court said it has not decided anything on Bihar’s new Form 6.

Justice Bagchi said the form was not considered in earlier hearings in the Bihar electoral-roll case. This matters because the rules for voter lists are still unclear, but the source does not say the court’s next step.

What the reporting says

The Supreme Court said on Monday that it has not adjudicated on the new Form 6 in the Bihar Special Intensive Revision case, according to a publisher summary. Justice Bagchi said the form was not part of earlier hearings, while the Election Commission had suggested approval existed. The immediate consequence is continued uncertainty around electoral-roll procedures, including a point the reporting says may matter nationwide.
