On April 7, 2025, the Supreme Court of India dismissed an appeal challenging the vote-counting process employed by the Election Commission of India. The court declined to hear a petition that sought increased transparency in the vote-counting process, stating that similar issues had been addressed in previous hearings. Additionally, the Supreme Court rejected a plea for 100% manual counting of VVPAT (Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail) slips during elections, emphasizing that the matter had already been discussed multiple times before.
