Maninder : this WP is 4 years old, filed in 2019....was it permissible for you (ADR) to file an application on a judgment where you are a party....the trust is to be strengthen in the election process, not to be punctured
Maninder: the ECI, take steps on its own wherever it thinks fit, it came to the conclusion that these applications are merely apprehensions

Maninder : why should this application be entertained? all the canons of law being put aside - resjudicata, delay in filing etc
Maninder submits that the present application is only based on apprehension and suspicion which are misplaced grounds as already decided in the EVM -VVPAT judgement.
