'Aa bail mujhe maar': Supreme Court on EC's voter turnout app
Friday, 24 May 2024
As the Supreme Court refused to direct the Election Commission of India (EC) to release voter turnout of each polling station on its website during Lok Sabha elections, it also said the poll body's idea to launch voter turnout app was an "aa bail mujhe maar" (Come bull, hit me) move. The Hindi proverb is used for someone asking for trouble. The remark came during hearing of a plea by an NGO to publish the booth-wise numbers of voter turnout and upload copies of Form 17C (which reflects the votes polled in each polling station) on its website within 48 hours of polling.
