Supreme Court

The petition demands re-polling in those areas where maximum votes were cast on NOTA. This petition was filed by Shivkheda.

The court rejected the petition demanding 100 percent verification of EVM voters through VVPAT slips. The Supreme Court told the petitioners that you cannot blindly question any system.

The court said that it would be wrong to believe that a person's private property cannot be considered a community material resource under Article 39B and the government cannot distribute it for the welfare of the common people.

Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said, "In the 75th year, Supreme Court launches an initiative to strengthen access to justice..."

ED has submitted an affidavit to the Supreme Court concerning the petition filed against the arrest and custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the lower court.

SC petition alleges that corporate entities donated to evade scrutiny by Central Government agencies and secure government contracts or licenses.

Soren, in his petition filed through advocate Pragya Baghel, said that a pattern has emerged in the actions of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of prosecuting and targeting individuals, especially political leaders associated with the opposition, on the basis of fabricated charges.

The debate delved into past legal precedents, notably the 1977 Ranganatha Reddy case, where the majority opinion clarified that private property does not constitute material resources of the community.

The court said that it is not the controlling authority for elections and a constitutional authority cannot direct the functioning of the Election Commission.

The court has scheduled further hearings for April 30 as it continues to address a petition filed by the Indian Medical Association in 2022, alleging Patanjali's dissemination of disinformation regarding Covid vaccination and modern medical practices.
