    What's the story

    The Bombay High Court has ordered the forensic examination of an electronic voter machine that was used in 2014 Maharashtra assembly elections.

    Congress candidate Abhay Chhajed, who lost to a BJP legislator from Pune's Parvati constituency filed an election petition challenging the result, alleging that the machine was tampered with.

    Chhajed moved the HC seeking examination of the EVM in one of the booths.
