"Let them submit their application forms, be it with Aadhaar card or matriculation certificates," Justice Kant said. Dwivedi suggested waiting for some more time so as to see how many more people are submitting forms. "Crores are filing documents, all bogus stories being [circulated]. Please wait for some time...repose some trust in EC,"he said.

Senior Advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, for the Association for Democratic Reforms, said that the legality of the exercise itself must be decided. He claimed that despite the Court's order, the Booth Level Officers were not accepting Aadhaar as a standalone document. Advocate Vrinda Grover, for an organisation of voters, said that even if Aadhaar card is submitted, the officers were insisting on any of the 11 documents specified in the SIR order.
