The Supreme Court rejected a plea to review its previous decision on voter secrecy violation, citing insufficient grounds for reconsideration. The bench, consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, also denied a request for an open court hearing. This reaffirms the court’s confidence in the integrity of the current electoral system.
The Supreme Court of India dismissed today a PIL petition from the Sikh Chamber of Commerce, citing an absence of a compelling case and reiterating their previous judgment on EVMs and VVPAT. Justices Khanna and Datta emphasized that polling officers cannot discern voters’ choices from VVPAT slips, addressing concerns about voter secrecy in Indian elections.
