The Supreme Court of India recently issued a clarification regarding the new Form 6, explicitly stating that it has not yet ruled on the matter. During proceedings, the bench expressed frustration with external characterizations of its stance, warning parties not to "put words in our mouth" regarding the court's position on the form's legality.

The court emphasized that it has not adjudicated the issue, effectively dismissing claims that a final decision or endorsement had already been reached. To resolve the ongoing legal uncertainty, the bench has scheduled a formal hearing to examine the challenges against the new Form 6 on October 27. This hearing is expected to provide a definitive judicial review of the form's requirements and its compliance with existing election or administrative laws. The court's directive serves as a procedural reset, ensuring that the legal debate remains focused on the upcoming arguments rather than speculative interpretations of the bench's current views.
