Hearing a petition by N. Chandrababu Naidu and 20 other opposition leaders who sought verification of 50% of VVPAT slips, the Supreme Court ordered that VVPAT slips be matched with EVM counts at five randomly selected polling stations per assembly constituency or segment, up from one. The Commission had argued that 50% verification would delay results.
Bench: CJI Ranjan Gogoi, Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna. Supreme Court Observer reports the Commission's affidavit said 50% verification would delay results by at least six days, and that review petitions were heard and the order left unmodified on 7 May (SCO prints the year as 2018, which is a typo for 2019).
