The court also ordered INEC to allow the Applicants to inspect and carry out digital forensic examination of all the electoral materials used in the conduct of the elections, as well as to avail them the Certified True Copies, of result of the physical inspection of the BVAS.

The panel however, asked INEC to upload data to back-end server and make true Certified copy to the respondents .
