The Allahabad High Court asked the UP DGP to explain why caste is mentioned in FIRs, highlighting concerns of bias and discrimination. The Court stressed that such practices may go against constitutional values and social justice.
The Delhi High Court today(21st Jan) dismissed an appeal that challenged the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in elections across various constituencies. The petitioner, Ramesh Chander, argued that under Section 61-A of the Representation of the People Act (RP Act), the Election Commission of India (ECI) should provide individual justifications for using EVMs in each constituency. However, the court did not accept this argument and dismissed the appeal.
