Jodhpur (Rajasthan) [India], August 9 (ANI): Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi has raised questions over the manner in which the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise is being conducted in poll-bound Bihar and said that instead of relying on documents with people, more documents are being parties have been insisting on a debate on the SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar, and both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have faced repeated adjournments on the issue. 'If I show my Aadhar card, and it turns out to be forged, and the same happened with my EPIC card, then they should delete it. However, this exercise is not individual; they claim they won't see the Aadhar card of any five crore people… How many people have the birth certificate of themselves and their parents? … SIR is not the issue, but the way they are conducting this exercise is not right…," Singhvi told reporters. The opposition INDIA bloc has been alleging that the revision process could lead to the deletion of a large number of voters. Earlier today, the Election Commission reiterated that it has not received a single claim or objection from any political party regarding the draft electoral rolls in Bihar.'So far, after over a week since the beginning of the Claims & Objections period, not even a single claim or objection has been submitted by any political party," the poll panel window to submit claims and objections to rectify any errors on draft electoral rolls opened on August the EC has received 7,252 claims and objections directly from the electors with respect to the draft roll till today, said the ECI in a daily bulletin on the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Bihar.

State Bar Council issues notices to 16 lawyers over ‘bench hunting'
Chandigarh: The Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana (BCPH) has issued notices to 16 lawyers, including two senior advocates, in connection with allegations of "bench hunting" in a high-profile case involving real estate developer Roop Bansal. The council issued the notice following a suo motu inquiry initiated by the privilege committee after media reports and court observations hinted at attempts to manipulate the bench allocation process of the Punjab and Haryana high court. The privilege committee, chaired by Raj Kumar Chauhan, convened on Aug 7 to examine records in CRM-M-19843-2025 (Roop Bansal vs State of Haryana), along with related high court orders and news reports. The committee observed that the allegations, if proven, amount to a grave attack on the dignity and ethics of the legal profession. "Any attempt to subvert the Temple of Justice, motivated by greed or manipulation, must be addressed with utmost seriousness," the order stated, invoking historical and moral analogies from the Mahabharata and quotes from figures like Mahatma Gandhi, B R Ambedkar, Lord Denning, and Justice Brandeis. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal? Access all TV channels without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The order was released late on Friday evening. The lawyers who have been asked to file a response to the issue are J K Singla, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Aditya Aggarwal, Gagandeep Singh, Anmol Chandan, Baljeet Beniwal, Harsh Sharma, Sauhard Singh, Rupender Singh, Ankit Yadav, Ashim Singla, Aakash Sharma, Bindu, APS Shergil, senior advocate Rakesh Nehra, and senior advocate Puneet Bali. All are alleged to have appeared or acted on behalf of Roop Bansal in the matter. The committee noted that records prima facie suggest advocate J K Singla may have played a "key role" in orchestrating the strategy, but stressed that such actions were likely carried out "in an organised manner" with involvement from other "ingenious minds" yet to be identified. The order also called for responses from prominent senior advocates Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Mukul Rohatgi to ensure a comprehensive adjudication. The lawyers have been asked to appear before the privilege committee on Aug 16 at 3 pm, either in person or through counsel, and to submit written replies. The committee likened the alleged practice of bench hunting, seeking a particular bench perceived to be favourable, to "rotten apples in the basket" and stressed the need to remove them before the entire profession's integrity is compromised. It also appealed for information or complaints from advocates or affected persons, to be sent via the committee's email or official WhatsApp number. "The legal profession is not merely a career — it is a calling that demands unshakable integrity, moral courage, and devotion to the cause of justice," the order concluded, warning that ethical breaches by even a few can corrode public faith in the entire system. Importantly, the matter came into the limelight after a complaint was received by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu of the Punjab and Haryana high court, and the matter was de-listed from the bench of Justice Mahabir Singh Sindhu, who reserved its verdict after hearing the matter. The Chief Justice, in its order, hinted at bench hunting by the lawyers in this matter. Prior to referring the matter to Justice Sindhu, several benches recused themselves from hearing. Interestingly, even after taking the matter from Justice Sidhu, several other judges of the HC recused themselves from hearing this case.
