SC directs EC to preserve video clips of polling
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|February 01, 2025
THE Supreme Court on Friday directed the Election Commission of India (EC) to preserve the video clips of the polling till the pendency of the pleas against the decision to increase the maximum number of voters per polling station from 1,200 to 1,500.
The top court said that EC should preserve the video clips of the polling till it takes a decision on the pleas.
A two-judge bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and also comprising Justice Sanjay Kumar passed the order after hearing the PIL filed by one Indu Prakash Singh.
The court also allowed the plea of the EC, which sought some time to respond to the PIL (Public Interest Litigation) and file a counter affidavit on the petition filed by Singh.
Singh has challenged the panel's communications in August 2024 for increasing the number of voters per polling stations in each constituency.
The PIL challenged the EC's communication(s), whereby the maximum number of electors per polling station has been raised from 1,200 to 1,500.

Living boundaries for your outdoor garden
WALLS can mark a boundary, but hedges bring a boundary to life. Think about it — a neat line of plants running along the edge of a bungalow garden doesn't just separate \"inside\" from \"outside,\" it frames the entire home like a picture. Hedges are one of the oldest and most reliable tools in landscaping: they provide privacy, reduce noise and dust, and simultaneously soften the hard lines of walls and gates.
