Kejriwal's lawyers have refuted ED's allegations and said that these are merely allegations for the media.

Adv Nizamuddin Pasha makes submissions: voter secrecy is not compromised at any stage..also the my right to secrecy cannot..
I hope you understand what you are arguing and the practical results of it
Pasha: milord..
SC: if you still argue then fine..the last slip will always be at the bottom.. do not take more time..
Pasha: it is the rights context in which this debate lies..
SC: you have applied the doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: yes fundamental right to know for whom vote is casted, right to free and fair election etc.. these are all rights of voters and it does not affect somebody else
SC: Tell us which are the four prongs of doctrine of proportionality
Pasha: the doctrine comes when there are two conflicting rights.. i am a stage anterior to this..
SC: all fundamental rights can be curtailed on the basis of certain exceptions..
Adv Prashant Bhushan:in the VVPAT machine the light remains on for 7 seconds, if that light can be on always so that voter can see the slip cutting and falling or other slip being cut etc also.. that can be done if the glass cannot be changed.
