Why in news
The Supreme Court ruled that recounts of votes should not be ordered routinely.
The secrecy of the ballot is considered essential in a democratic election.
Each vote's value must be upheld, regardless of the final election result.
The court heard a case regarding a disputed village election in Uttar Pradesh with vote count discrepancies.
The court emphasized that recounts should only be ordered if there is strong evidence of election irregularities.
Vague requests for recounts are not sufficient to compromise the secrecy of ballots.
Recounts must be necessary to ensure justice is served.
