Madhya Pradesh's Supreme Court dismissed a special leave petition on Monday, barring former minister and Congress candidate PC Sharma from challenging the 2023 Assembly election results in Bhopal South-West constituency. Sharma alleged EVM tampering during the elections. A bench with Justices MM Sundresh and Prasanna B Varale decided against intervening in the Madhya Pradesh High Court's ruling, citing lack of grounds to do so.
In his petition, Sharma claimed that BJP candidate Bhagwandas Sabnani secured more votes on EVMs with 99% battery levels, while the Congress had an advantage in machines with battery levels between 60% and 70%. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had dismissed Sharma's appeal, and the Supreme Court did not interfere with that decision.
