The bench said it would hear the plea in the week commencing March 17.
Singhvi said amendments to the 1961 Conduct of Election Rules were made «very cleverly» and barred any access to CCTV footage claiming it would reveal the identity of the voter.
He said voting choices were never revealed and the CCTV footage couldn't reveal votes.
The senior lawyer urged the bench to ask the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Centre to file their responses before the next date of hearing else they would come and say «reply is needed to be filed» on that day.
