SC dismisses PIL seeking 100 % matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs during vote counting on May 23
LokSabha Elections 2019:The Supreme Court on Tuesday expelled a PIL looking for 100 percent coordinating of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) amid tallying of votes on May 23 for Lok Sabha surveys.
An excursion seat headed by Justice Arun Mishra would not engage the supplication recorded by a Chennai-based association ‘Tech for All’, saying that a bigger seat headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi had just managed the issue and passed a request
“The CJI had managed this issue. For what reason are you bringing chance under the watchful eye of a two-judge get-away seat,” the pinnacle court inquired.
“We can’t abrogate the CJI’s organization… This is jabber. The appeal is accepted. Expelled,” Justice Mishra said.
The peak court had on May 7 rejected a survey supplication recorded by 21 Opposition pioneers driven by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu looking for that irregular coordinating of VVPAT slips with EVMs be expanded to 50 percent.
The top court had on April 8 guided the Election Commission to expand arbitrary coordinating of VVPAT slips with EVMs from one to five surveying corners for each gathering fragment in Lok Sabha surveys, saying it would give more noteworthy fulfillment to ideological groups as well as to the whole electorate.
