In a significant development, the Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Election Commission of India (ECI) to preserve video recordings of polling while hearing a plea against the recent decision to raise the maximum number of voters per polling station from 1,200 to 1,500. A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar passed the directive after the counsel representing the ECI sought additional time to respond to the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Indu Prakash Singh.
