Supreme Court Hears Plea Against Maharashtra's SIR

The Supreme Court has taken up a case challenging the validity of the State Integration Report (SIR) in Maharashtra. The court issued notices to both the Centre and the Election Commission, asking them to respond to the plea. The SIR, a document outlining the integration of various administrative units in Maharashtra, has been contested by some parties who claim it is flawed and potentially harmful to the state's political landscape. The court will now hear arguments from both sides before making a decision on the matter.
