The Supreme Court of India(SCI)Tuesday May 07,2019 dismissed the review petition of 21 opposition
parties seeking counter verification of Electronic Voting Machines
(EVMs) using Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPATs)
"We are not inclined to modify our order," said the SC bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi while dismissing review plea on the random matching of VVPAT slips.
The SCI had earlier increased the VVPAT from one EVM per Assembly segment to five randomly selected EVMs on April08,2019
The SCI said it was being done to ensure a high degree of accuracy and satisfaction in the election process.
Twenty-one opposition parties led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu had sought the review of the SC's order, saying the "increase from 1 to 5 is not a reasonable number and does not lead to satisfaction desired by this court". The parties include Congress, Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Trinamool Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], Communist Party of India (CPI) and others. The plea was mentioned for urgent hearing before a bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Deepak Gupta.
