No institution including judiciary should insulate itself from suggestions: SC in VVPAT caseNew Delhi: “No institution including the judiciary should insulate itself from suggestions or improvements,” the Supreme Court said on Monday while asking the Election Commission (EC) whether it has any difficulty if the court orders an increase in the number of random checks of Voter Verified Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs). The other leaders include Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Sharad Yadav, Arvind Kejriwal, Derek O’Brien, MK Stalin, and Farooq Abdullah. The petition has also challenged the decision of ECI to check VVPATs of only one randomly selected booth of a constituency. This guideline defeats the entire purpose of the VVPAT and makes the same “ornamental” without actual substance, according to the petitioners..
