The Supreme Court of India dismissed a petition from KA Paul, who sought a return to ballot paper voting, arguing that Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) could be tampered with. During the hearing, Justices Vikram Nath and PB Varale questioned Paul's claims, noting that accusations of EVM tampering often arise only when politicians lose elections. Paul also requested that the Election Commission disqualify candidates for five years if found guilty of bribery during polls. The bench expressed skepticism about his motives, suggesting that his expertise lay outside the political realm. Paul referenced concerns raised by figures like Elon Musk regarding EVM security and advocated for practices used in countries like the United States. In response, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar defended the integrity of EVMs, highlighting their robustness and the transparency of the electoral process in India, and criticized the tendency to question EVMs only when election outcomes are unfavorable.

Published: Nov 26 2024, 7 pmeznews.inA photograph of 28 Kerala policemen standing with their backs to the sanctum sanctorum on the 18 steps of the Sabarimala temple has ignited controversy, as it is perceived as a violation of temple traditions. Taken after the temple's doors closed on Saturday, the image prompted a top Kerala Police official to request a report on the incident for potential disciplinary action.

Published: Nov 26 2024, 6 pmeznews.inA petition claiming that Rahul Gandhi holds UK citizenship has prompted the Allahabad High Court to direct Additional Solicitor General S.B. Pandey to gather information from the Ministry of Home Affairs within three weeks. The court has scheduled the next hearing for the week of December 19, 2024. The petitioner, S. Vignesh Shishir from Karnataka, previously withdrew a similar petition in July 2024 but has now submitted two representations to the Union home ministry.
