The Supreme Court in the case Madhya Pradesh Jan Prakash Party versus Election Commission of India observed and has recently dismissed a petition challenging the use of Electronic Voting Machines in the election process with a cost of Rupees 50,000.
The Court observed while dismissing the petition filed by Madhya Pradesh Jan Prakash Party and stated that it appears that party which may not have got much recognition from the electorate now seeks recognition by filing petitions.
The bench comprising of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Abhay S Oka observed and has stated in the order that the election process under the representation of the People Act, 1951 is being monitored by a Constitutional Authority like the Election Commission. Thus, in our country, the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) process has been utilized for decades now but periodically issues are sought to be raised and this is one such endeavour in the abstract.
The Court while observing that the filing of such petitions must be deterred, the bench imposed costs of Rs.50,000 on the petitioner and which was being directed to be deposited with Supreme Court Group-C (Non-Clerical), the Employees Welfare Association within a period of four weeks.
