Following the denial, Singhvi said he was ready to scale down his petition to investigating of 10% of EVM paper trail.

The  Apex court also asked Congress to explicate and show any proof for its apprehension and also demonstrate how the decision of  Election Commission to count paper trial of EVMs in one booth per constituency was impulsive and illegal .

The  Apex court said that debate for reform of Polls can be done after the Election process is over and allowed the Congress to pull back the petition and move with a extensive election reform petition afterward.
