The Supreme Court on Wednesday gave its assent to consider listing a PIL challenging the constitutional validity of a provision of the Representation of the People Act. Under this act, EVMs were introduced instead of ballot papers for voting in the country.
Advocate ML Sharma has filed the petition
This petition has been filed by advocate ML Sharma. A bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana heard the arguments of advocate ML Sharma. The bench said that it will consider listing the matter.
What are the arguments of the petitioner?

That is why it cannot be implemented.
