The Supreme Court on Friday said that the plea concerning the verification of electronic voting machines (EVMs) should be directed to the same bench that issued a key ruling in April, which rejected calls to revert to traditional paper ballots, reported news agency PTI.

When the plea on EVMs came up for hearing, Justices Vikram Nath and P B Varale told petitioner`s counsel senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, "Why don`t this matter go before the same bench?"
