The Supreme Court on Friday, May 24, declined to issue a directive to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the public release of Form 17C data despite growing calls for transparency in voter turnout information. Justices Dipankar Datta and Satish Chandra Sharma emphasised a "hands-off" approach, refusing to intervene in ongoing election proceedings. The Court adjourned the application, underscoring the need for trust in electoral authorities and stressing non-interference during the electoral process.
