The Supreme Court on Monday favoured the idea of increasing the number of EVMs to be matched with VVPAT paper slips, and asked the Election Commission to inform by Thursday whether it could scale up its current plan to match one randomly selected EVM with VVPAT slips in each assembly segment.
“Can you do it for more EVMs on your own? Only if you have difficulties we will consider it. But we would like you (EC) to increase it (the number of EVMs to be matched with VVPAT paper slips),” a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Deepak Gupta said.
