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.
Today(on 18th April), India’s Supreme Court reviewed the functionality and security of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in response to election integrity concerns. The Election Commission’s detailed explanation reinforced the system’s integrity, dispelling worries of manipulation. The court’s inquiry was prompted by petitions for thorough EVM and VVPAT verification, and the commission assured stringent security measures.
