During a court session on October 5, the Supreme Court addressed inquiries regarding the electoral registration document known as Form 6. The court explicitly clarified that it has not granted approval for any changes or modifications to the form currently utilized by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

The statement was made while the bench was presiding over a separate petition involving electoral matters in Bihar. The court's remarks serve as a procedural update, distancing the judiciary from the specific administrative adjustments made to the form used for voter registration. While the court addressed the status of the document, it did not provide further details regarding the nature of the proposed modifications or the specific grievances raised by the petitioners in the Bihar case. The clarification highlights the distinction between the ECI's administrative authority over electoral forms and the Supreme Court's role in judicial oversight, confirming that the court has not yet vetted or sanctioned the current iteration of the form in question.
