The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear review petition filed by 21 opposition parties seeking verification of 50 per cent Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) using voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) slips, next week.

The apex court earlier in its judgment had directed the election commission (EC) to inspect five VVPATs per constituency, against the opposition’s request for verifying 50 per cent for every constituency.

The court had said that this will ensure the best level of correctness and contentment in the election process.
