Supreme Court while highlighting the autonomy of the Election Commission of India observed that they don't control the elections and the poll body has cleared doubts regarding EVMs.
"These news reports are false. We have verified the allegation from the district collector and it appears that they are false.," Senior Deputy Election Commissioner Nitesh Kumar Vyas said.
The apex court rejected the arguments of Bhushan, appearing for the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), about how most European countries that had opted for voting through EVMs have returned to paper ballots.
