Two petitions were filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court in connection with EVMs used in the state assembly polls held on November 28.
Congress leader Naresh Saraf sought direction from the high court to set up a special investigation team (SIT) to probe alleged irregularities in the handling of reserve electronic voting machines (EVMs) in Bhopal, Satna, Sagar, Shahjapur and Khandwa.
The petitioner's counsel Shashank Shekhar said no separate facility was created to keep the unused reserve EVMs after polling was held.
These were kept within the vicinity of EVMs used in polling in all the assembly seats, Shekhar alleged.
