A Supreme Court bench, led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, will hear a plea seeking a policy for verifying Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). The petition, filed by former Haryana minister Karan Singh Dalal, calls for clear rules to check EVM components. It also asks for compliance with an earlier court order on the matter. The case aims to ensure transparency in the use of EVMs.

The Supreme Court of India on Friday (13th Dec) suggested that a petition regarding electronic voting machines (EVM) verification be referred to the same bench that ruled in April 2024, affirming EVM security. Petitioners seek to establish a clear verification protocol, requesting the Election Commission to verify EVM components within eight weeks without disputing election results.
