Enumeration form is not referred to any Rule. This type of power they are exercising is against spirit of law. Prescription of certain document by statute can't be waived off. On that score alone, this Court directed them to consider these documents, but they have refused. ECI has no discretion to deny application of such documents (Aadhaar, etc.)
