Supreme Court upholds non-disclosure of EVM source code, citing potential misuse
New Delhi: In a recent hearing regarding Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) records, the Supreme Court reiterated its stance against the disclosure of EVM source codes, citing concerns over potential misuse.
The bench, comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, called for clarifications from an Election Commission official during the proceedings. Senior Advocate Santhosh Paul, representing one of the petitioners, raised the issue of disclosing EVM source codes. However, Justice Khanna firmly rejected the idea, stating, "Source code should never be disclosed...it will become a problem...people will then try and misuse it."
Previously, a public interest litigation (PIL) had sought an independent audit of EVM source codes, arguing for transparency in the electoral process. However, the PIL was dismissed by a bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud in November 2023.
