# Telangana HC Seeks ECI Response on Family Register Certificate for SIR 2026-08-07T02:50:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana High Court has sought the Election Commission of India’s response to petitions challenging the use of the Telangana Family Register Certificate in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. A division bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice GM Mohiuddin listed the matter for August 12 after the ECI’s standing counsel sought time to obtain instructions. The petitions argue that the certificate is based solely on the Food Security Card, or ration card, database and is meant for government services rather than voter enrolment. The register lists family members, relationships, age, date of birth, gender, Aadhaar number and address. It is issued by the local tehsildar and is among 12 documents accepted for the SIR. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - siasat.com Tags: Election Commission, electoral rolls, Telangana, Telangana High Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-hc-seeks-ec-response-on-family-register-certificate/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
