This direction came after Advocate Prashant Bhushan, representing the Association for Democratic Reforms, referred to a report by Manorama Online regarding complaints about EVMs registering additional votes for the BJP in the Kasargod constituency. The bench, led by Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, instructed Maninder Singh to look into the matter. The Supreme Court is currently hearing the EVM-VVPAT case, with today being the second day of proceedings.
