The Supreme Court is set to deliver its verdict tomorrow on petitions demanding 100% verification of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs) alongside electronic voting machines (EVMs). This decision coincides with voting on 88 constituencies in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections. The bench, comprising Justice Sanjeev Khanna and Justice Dipankar Dutta, will announce the verdict around 10:30 am. Petitioners, including the Association of Democratic Reforms, have raised concerns about EVM tampering, though the court has emphasized its inability to intervene solely based on doubts. The ruling will determine the fate of electoral transparency measures.
