The Supreme Court today (December 13, 2019) issued a notice to the Election Commission in a plea filed by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) over allegations of discrepancies in the final vote counts and the voter turnout at EVMs in 347 constituencies in the 2019 Lok Sabha Polls. 

The Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde headed the bench hearing the matter and posted it for hearing in February, 2020 next.
