Option 1 – Straightforward News Style

Questioning the role of booth-level agents (BLAs), the court asked, “After appointing BLAs, what are they doing? Why is there a distance between people and local political persons? Political parties must assist voters.”
The court also impleaded 12 parties in the case and directed them to instruct their workers to help citizens file claims using Aadhaar or any of the 11 documents accepted by the ECI.

Option 3 – Sharper & More Punchy
Slamming Bihar’s political parties for “doing nothing” over missing voters, the Supreme Court on Friday said their failure to file objections to the draft rolls was “surprising.” The court directed 12 parties to order their cadres to actively help citizens submit claims using Aadhaar or other approved documents.
