The Supreme Court has barred ECP from holding by-elections on old voter lists.

During proceedings of the computerised voters lists case, the Supreme Court ruled that by-elections could not be held on the old lists as the Election Commission had itself admitted that 30 million votes were bogus.The SC ordered that by-elections should be held on authentic voters lists and the Election Commission should ensure free and transparent polls.The court adjourned the hearing of the case till February 6.
