SC Dismisses New Plea For 100% VVPAT Verification

The vacation bench of the Supreme Court today dismissed a petition filed seeking 100% verification of the Voter Verified Paper Audited Trails with the Electronic Voting Machines. Why are you taking chance before a two-judge vacation bench," the apex court asked. Earlier, the SC had directed the Election Commission of India to increase VVPAT verification to one EVM to five EVMs in each assembly segment of a parlimanetary constituency. Though they had sought a review of this order later by seeking increase up to 50% verification, the Court dismissed it.
