SC quashes petition filed against EVMs

The petition  filed by Jana Chaitanya  in the Supreme Court against  tampering of  Electronic Voting Machines during the elections  had been quashed. The court directed the applicant  to  take their grivence to the Election Commission Of India who will be able to solve the problem.

The  case in the  Supreme court was filed when an  election watch-dog and an NGO from Hyderabad demonstrated 'tampering' of EVMs and claimed that these machines could be easily manipulated.Explaining the possibilities of manipulations and insertions of pre-programmed chips, Hari K Prasad of NetIndia and the NGO Election Group's Convenor V V Rao said the chips are imported from Japan and there is a possibility of giving 60 per cent of total votes polled through the EVMs by one particular candidate (party) if the chips are programmed in such a manner.
