The apex court on Wednesday reserved its verdict after taking note of answers to queries it had raised before EC.
Supreme Court is set to pronounce a verdict on Friday on a batch of pleas seeking complete cross-verification of votes cast using EVMs with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT). The apex court on Wednesday reserved its verdict after taking note of answers to queries it had raised before the Election Commission.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta earlier said it needs clarification on certain aspects as there was some confusion in answers given by the EC in its ‘frequently asked questions’ (FAQs) on EVMs.
“We went through the FAQs. We just wanted three-four clarifications. We don’t want to be factually wrong but doubly sure in our findings and hence we thought of seeking the clarification,” the bench told Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati who was appearing for the EC.
