EVM VERIFICATION PLEA TO BE HEARD BY OTHER SC BENCH
The Sunday Guardian
|December 22, 2024
The Supreme Court of India on Friday has announced that the plea seeking a policy for the verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) will be heard by a bench led by Justice Dipankar Datta in January 2025.
-
The plea, filed by former Haryana minister and fivetime MLA Karan Singh Dalal along with Lakhan Kumar Singla, will be taken up during the week beginning January 20, 2025. The petition is centered on the implementation of a procedure to verify EVMs, following concerns raised by the petitioners.
Earlier, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar had referred the matter to the bench led by Justice Datta for further hearing. This is the latest in a series of legal proceedings regarding EVM verification, including an earlier ruling in April where the Supreme Court dismissed calls to return to paper ballots.
