Case Summary: R.D. Bhandari v. Election Commission of India (1995) The Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to proceed with elections in Bihar and Orissa despite incomplete distribution of photo identity cards, rejecting the Commission's requirement that 'all' eligible voters receive cards before polling. The Court issued an interim stay preventing the Commission from withholding elections on these grounds, while permitting other measures to ensure fair polls and requesting Bihar to undertake completion of card distribution by September 30, 1995.
