It is seen that this Court on 26.06.2024 has passed certain directions:- "6. At the outset, the petitioner acknowledges that he has been supplied certain data in a hard disk at the behest of the respondent after instituting the present petition.

7. However, it is pointed out that in the covering letter dated 22.06.2024 issued by the Election Officer, by which the hard disk has been supplied after filing of the present petition, there are no details provided as to the number of nature and details of the data viz., the CCTV footages/videos, time duration, and in fact as to the contents of the hard disk.

8. It is further pointed out that hard disk is not encrypted protected with any hash values besides the fact that there is no indication that the data has been supplied to the petitioner by the respondent pursuant to his request. In other words, the covering letter lacks relevant particulars as to its content, source and authenticity"
