The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Wednesday moved the Madras High Court with a plea to restrain the Election Commission (EC) from using electronic voting machines that were beyond the expiry period of 15 years, in the April 6 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls. The other prayers of the DMK, represented by its Organisation Secretary RS Bharathi, were to provide CCTV live coverage/web-stream during voting in all the polling booths and voting centers, to install jammers at the strong rooms, where EVMs are stored and at the counting centres. The opposition party also wanted the court to direct the Returning Officers to count at least 50 per cent of VVPATS, simultaneously. After listening to the preliminary arguments by DMK senior counsel P Wilson, the first bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy ordered notice to the Election Commission, returnable by March 29.
