Lok Sabha Election 2024: Justice Dipankar Datta said, ''I have serious doubt as regards the bona fides of the petitioning association when it seeks a reversion to the old order".
The petitioner in the EVM case, the non-profit Association for Democratic Reforms or ADR, got a stern warning today from the Supreme Court, which said "blindly doubting a system can breed scepticism". Justice Dipankar Datta, who was part of the two-judge bench said, ''I have serious doubt as regards the bona fides of the petitioning association when it seeks a reversion to the old order".
"Irrespective of the fact that in the past efforts of the petitioning association in bringing about electoral reforms have borne fruit, the suggestion put forth appeared inexplicable,' the judge said.
The court also said there has been a rise of "certain vested interest groups" that try to undermine the achievements and accomplishments of the nation.
