The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea of 21 Opposition parties, led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, to review its judgment rejecting 50% random physical verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) using Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
"How much counting do you want now?" Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi asked senior advocate A.M. Singhvi, who is representing the Opposition.
"We have asked for 50%, but we can settle for 33% or 25% verification. My Lords had agreed with our plea in principle, but increased the counting from one VVPAT to only five. My Lords had 50% was not 'viable' at this point of time during the Lok Sabha elections," Mr. Singhvi submitted.
