New Delhi: With the defeat of Congress leadership in Haryana and Maharashtra assembly elections, questions are once again being raised on EVMs. An application has also been filed in the Supreme Court regarding this. The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the petition seeking to conduct elections through ballot paper by tampering with EVMs, saying that EVMs are tampered when you lose and not when you win.
Rejecting the petition seeking to once again conduct ballot paper elections across the country, the bench of Justices Vikram Nath and PB Varale said, ‘Actually, when you win, there is no tampering with EVMs.’ EVMs are tampered with only when you lose.
In the PIL, along with the complaint of tampering with EVMs, there was also a demand to conduct elections in the country with ballot papers instead of EVMs. This application is written by Dr. K.A. Paul entered. The petition has also demanded that the Election Commission should be instructed that if any candidate is found guilty of giving money, liquor or other inducements to the voters at the time of elections other than voting through ballot in the country, then he should be imprisoned for at least five years. Be disqualified for. During the hearing of this case, the Supreme Court bench sarcastically asked the petitioner, how did the brilliant idea of filing such a petition come to your mind? The petitioner, while demanding elections through ballot paper, said that he has visited more than 150 countries. In most countries voting is done by ballot paper. India should also do the same.
The bench asked why you do not want to be separated from the world? The petitioner said that there is corruption in the country and in June this year the Election Commission had announced that it will pay Rs 50,000. Rs 9,000 crore has been seized. In this regard, the court said that if elections are held again through ballot paper in the country, will there not be corruption?
