Live Law  

The Delhi High Court on Thursday issued notice on the plea filed by Aam Aadmi Party through it's MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj seeking directions on State Election Commission to conduct the upcoming MCD polls using EVMs with VVPAT. Senior Advocate Rahul Mehra appearing for the petitioner Aam Aadmi Party said that while the MCD polls were upcoming, the State Election Commission had not yet developed its own infrastructure despite the Supreme Court order. In this backdrop, the plea avers that the use of the old M-2EVM's without VVPAT are in contravention of the directions issued by the Supreme Court in Subramanian Swamy v. Election Commission of India, 10 SCC 500, wherein it was recognized that the incorporation and implementation of a system of paper trail in EVMs is an indispensable requirement of a free and fair elections. The plea adds that the decision of State Election Commission to hold the upcoming MCD Elections with M-2 EVMs without VVPAT is manifestly wrong and amounts to a colourable exercise of power.
