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.

- SUCHITRA KALYAN MOHANTY @ New Delhi

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.
