AND COMING
ON
FOR PRONOUNCEMENT OF ORDERS, THIS DAY,
THIS COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
CORAM : HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R DEVDAS
CAV JUDGMENT
(PER: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R DEVDAS)
This Election petition is filed under Section 81 of the Representation of People Act, 1950, read with
Rule 4 of the Karnataka Election Petition Rules, where the petitioner has raised a challenge to the
election of the first respondent as the winning candidate of Malur Assembly Constituency, Kolar
District (Karnataka Assembly Constituency No.149), during the Elections held in May 2023.
2.
The petitioner has sought the election of respondent No.1 to be declared as void under
Section 100(1)(d)(i) to (iv) of Representation of People Act, 1951 (hereinafter referred to as, ‘the
5
R.P.Act’, for short) and to declare the petitioner as the elected candidate. The petitioner has sought
for recounting of votes and to declare the petitioner as having been elected on the basis of the votes
secured by him or in the alternative, on the basis of the results of the recount, declare the petitioner
as the elected candidate.
3.
On the basis of the pleadings, this Court framed the following:
:: ISSUES ::
(1)
Whether the petitioner proves that the Returning Officer has violated Rule 66-A of
the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 and procedure prescribed in the Hand Book for
the Returning Officer while obtaining signatures on the Form No.17-C Part-II from
the counting agents of the petitioner and whether there is manipulation and over
writing in Form No.17-C which has materially affected the result of the election?
(2)
Whether the petitioner proves that the order of rejection of the application for
recounting was prepared and signed on 15.05.2023 and
communicated
on
17.05.2023, ante dated as 13.05.2023 in gross violation of Representation of the
People Act, 1951 and Rules?
(3)
Whether the petitioner proves that nonconducting of the mandatory VVPAT trial
as per the procedure has materially affected the result of the election and thereby
vitiating the entire process of counting?
(4)
Whether the petitioner proves commission of corrupt practice of aiding and
lending assistance to the Respondent No.1 by the Returning officer and other
officials under Section 123(7) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951
materially affecting the outcome of the election result?
(5)
Whether the petitioner proves there was wrong tabulation of votes by the
returning officer which has materially affected the outcome of the election result?
(6)
Whether the petitioner is entitled for relief of recounting of votes in respect of
149Malur Assembly Constituency?
(7)
Whether the petitioner is required to be declared as elected candidate of 149-
Malur Assembly Constituency, while setting aside the election of respondent
No.1?
(8)
What order?
6
4.
During the course of examination-in-chief and cross-examination, it
was found that the video recordings of the election counting, barring the video
recording of the VVPAT process, was not made available by the District Election
Officer (hereinafter referred to as ‘DEO’ for short). Learned Senior Counsel appearing
for the petitioner has raised this issue, regarding non-availability of the video recording
of the counting process, as a mandatory requirement of law and has pressed for
allowing the Election Petition on that ground alone, to issue directions for recounting.
5.
In order to buttress his contention, that the nonavailability of the
videograph recordings of the counting process is sufficient to allow the Election
Petition while directing recounting, the learned Senior Counsel submitted that the
petitioner has raised pertinent issues as to whether the petitioner proves commission
of corrupt practice of aiding and lending assistance to respondent No.1 by the
Returning Officer and other officials, materially affecting the outcome of the election
result; that the Returning Officer obtained signatures on Form No.17C Part II from the
counting agents of the petitioner even before the counting; that signatures of the
counting agents of the petitioner were not taken in Form No.17C Part II in many
rounds; wrong tabulation of votes by the Returning Officer are all instances which
could be easily verified from the video recordings.
6.
It is now alleged on behalf of the petitioner that the DEO has
deliberately withheld the video recordings of the counting process, to avoid scrutiny
and verification of the same at the hands of this Court. Learned Senior Counsel has
also pointed out to the material available on record viz., Form No.17C Part II which
are marked and exhibited before this Court as Ex.P11 etc., which do not contain the
signatures of the petitioner’s counting agents. It is also pointed out that although it is
mandatory to serve a copy of Form No.17C Part II to the counting agents, copies have
7
not been given. It was pointed out that unauthorized persons were permitted to enter
the counting centre, contrary to the Rules. No publication was made in the counting
centre at the end of every round of counting, which again is mandatory. Learned
Senior Counsel submitted that the main allegation of the petitioner is regarding the
improper acceptance of votes in favour of respondent No.1 and improper rejection of
votes in favour of the petitioner. It is submitted that these are all instances which have
been recorded in the video camera/CCTV cameras which were installed in the counting
centre, which could be easily verified at the hands of this Court. However, the video
recordings are deliberately withheld by the DEO and therefore, this Court should direct
recounting of the votes.
7.
Another major ground raised by the petitioner is that the Returning
Officer did not pass any order on the application filed by the petitioner seeking
recounting. In this regard, learned Senior Counsel submitted that the Returning Officer
has not disputed the fact that the petitioner gave an application in writing for recounting
immediately after the last round of counting and tabulation. However, no orders were
passed by the Returning Officer on the application filed by the petitioner for
recounting. It is pointed out from the material available on record, that the Returning
Officer has not produced the original order said to have been passed by him. On the
other hand, it is admitted that on 15.05.2023, two days after the counting which took
place on 13.05.2023, on the insistence of the petitioner, the order was typed out in the
office of the Tahsildar and the same was handed over to Sri Venugopal PW2, the
election agent of the petitioner. In fact, a copy of the order/endorsement was forwarded
through WhatsApp, to Sri Venugopal PW2. The Returning Officer however, has
denied the suggestion put on behalf of the petitioner that he did not issue any
endorsement rejecting the application for recounting on 13.05.2023. The Returning
Officer has admitted in the cross-examination that the petitioner started asking for
8
recounting from 1.30 p.m. and finally after the VVPAT process was over the petitioner
left the centre, but the Returning Officer prepared the order and kept it ready in the
office. However, neither the original of the order nor the endorsement for having
issued the same to the petitioner is available on record.
8.
Learned Senior Counsel Sri Jayakumar S. Patil submitted that in terms of Rule 63(3)
of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rules, 1961’ for short), the
Returning Officer is required to decide the application for recounting and pass an order in writing,
with reasons. Sub-rule (6) of Rule 63 would also require the Returning Officer to give reasonable
opportunity to the applicant. However, having regard to the contentions of respondent No.1 that the
petitioner never gave such an application in writing to the Returning Officer, the learned Senior
Counsel pointed out to the averments in the petition and deposition of the petitioner, PW.1 that he
gave the application for recounting at 2:17 p.m., and the Returning Officer said he will do recounting
of 20 EVMs. But, the petitioner insisted on full recounting.
9.
Learned Senior Counsel submitted that the announcement of the final result under
Rule 64 is without compliance of Rule 63. It is submitted that the law does not contemplate a situation
where orders are not passed by the Returning Officer, on the application filed by the aggrieved party
seeking recounting. Therefore, respondent No.1 cannot contend that non-passing of an order or non-
consideration of the application for recounting by itself cannot be a ground for seeking voiding of an
election. It has been contended at the hands of the learned Senior Counsel appearing for respondent
No.1 that having regard to clause (d) of subsection (1) of Section 100 of the R.P.Act, the petitioner
will have to prove or satisfy this Court that the nonconsideration of the application for recounting has
materially affected the result of the election.
10.
Learned Senior Counsel Sri.Jayakumar S. Patil, appearing for the petitioner has placed
reliance on Election Commission of India, through Secretary Vs. Ashok Kumar
and Others, (2000) 8 SCC 216,and Union of India Vs. Association for
9
Democratic Reforms and Another, (2002) 5 SCC 294, to contend that the norms
and moralities, including the Handbook for Returning Officer have the force of law, having been
issued by the Election Commission by virtue of powers conferred under Article 324 of the
Constitution of India. This submission comes in the wake of the contention of the learned Senior
Counsel appearing for respondent No.1 that the instructions in the Handbook for Returning Officer
have no force of law. It was contended on behalf of respondent No.1 that the requirement of
videographing the counting process is not found in the R.P.Act, or the Rules, 1961. It was also
pointed out that the Handbook for Returning Officer, 2023 came into effect on 22.08.2023, while the
counting was held 13.05.2023 and therefore, the same is not applicable. It was therefore contended
that clause 15.11.4 of the Handbook for Returning Officer, 2023 cannot be pressed into service in the
present case. It is only under the Handbook 2023, that the requirement of the counting process being
covered 360 degree through CCTV coverage or videography with date and time stamping and to be
stored in appropriate retrievable storage device is provided for and not in Handbook 2019 which is
applicable to the fact of the present case. It was pointed out that the requirement under Handbook for
Returning Officer 2019, more particularly, clause 15.14.8 recommended the entire counting process
to be videographed. CD of the recording should be kept in safe custody of D.E.O.
11.
Addressing this contention, learned Senior Counsel Sri.Jayakumar S. Patil submitted that
clause 15.14.8 of Handbook for Returning Officer, 2019 also prescribed that the entire
counting process to be videographed. The CD of the recording should be kept in the safe
custody of the D.E.O. The video coverage shall be ensured at every stage of the counting.
The video coverage shall include the randomization process, the process of opening of strong
room, transfer of EVMs from strong room to counting hall, counting hall arrangements,
process of counting in general in the counting hall and process of tabulation in general at the
Returning Officer’s table, the process of counter checking of two EVMs by the Observers
and security arrangements inside and outside the counting hall, presence of candidates and
their agents in the counting centre and process of declaration of results, etc. It was pointed
10
out that clause 15.14.8 mandates that the vidoegraphy should indicate the date and time and
the video CDs should be sealed clearly labeling all the details contained therein, after the
counting process is over, for future reference.
(Emphasis supplied)
12.
In that view of the matter, the learned Senior Counsel placed reliance on Vijay Bahadur
Vs. Sunil Kumar And Others, (2025) 4 SCC 180, where it was held that if the
Presiding Officers’ records are missing and cannot be verified, it can be found that final
conclusion is within the realm of questionability. Each and every document pertaining to an
election is important and all efforts should be made to preserve the same. Having regard to
the fact that important documents pertaining to the election were missing and such absence
were unexplained, the Hon’ble Apex Court held that the directions issued by the High Court
for recounting would be justified.
13.
Therefore, Sri.Jayakumar S. Patil, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner
submitted that since the video recordings are not made available to this Court for verification
in accordance with law, that itself is sufficient to direct recounting. This Court need not go
any further to consider all other averments made in the petition.
14.
Per contra, learned Senior Counsel Smt. Nalina Mayegowda, appearing for respondent No.1
submitted that an election petition is filed under the provisions of a statute and not under
common law. It has been declared by the Courts that an election petition is a quasi criminal
proceedings and therefore, the petition is required to be considered on the basis of the
evidence brought on record at the hands of the petitioner. It is contended that although
respondent No.1 was the elected MLA for the previous term 2018-2023, nevertheless,
Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP) was the party in power. The first respondent belongs to the
Indian National Congress and therefore, it would be futile on the part of the petitioner to
contend that respondent No.1 has exerted pressure over the Returning Officer and the
Election authorities to indulge in unlawful practice, to support the first respondent and that
the Returning Officer has declared respondent No.1 as winning candidate, although
respondent No.1 secured lesser votes than the petitioner. It is submitted that just because the
margin of votes polled between the petitioner and respondent No.1 is slender, it cannot be a
11
ground to seek recounting. The petitioner is required to prove before this Court that the
conduct of the Returning Officer and the other election authorities have materially affected
the result of the elections or counting. It is for the petitioner to satisfy this Court on the basis
of the primary material available viz., Form-17C Part II. It is submitted that the videograph
of the counting process cannot be primary evidence. It should be considered as secondary
evidence. It is submitted that the primary evidence are in the Forms - Form-17C Part II and
all other material evidence available before this Court. This Court should look into the
primary evidence brought on record and on being satisfied that the material available on
record prove the illegality, without any doubt in the mind of this Court, only then this Court
can direct the recounting and not otherwise.
15.
It is submitted that the act of the counting agents of the petitioner not affixing their signature
in some of the Form-17C Part II, should be held as a deliberate attempt, orchestrated effort
to malign the process of counting. It is pointed out from the depositions of the petitioner
witnesses, that many of them are practicing lawyers. They are aware of the process of the
election and counting. They have not denied the fact that in most of the Form-17C Part II,
they have affixed their signatures. They have admitted in their cross-examination, that they
did not protest when they were asked to sign the Form before the EVMs were opened and
the results falling out of the machine were announced.
16.
Insofar as, the application for recounting said to have been filed by the petitioner, the learned
Senior Counsel for respondent No.1 submitted that Ex.P24 is said to be the application filed
by the petitioner seeking recounting. But, what has been produced before this Court from
the strong room is a photocopy and not the original. This, coupled with the fact that the
original of the order said to have been passed by the Returning Officer is also not available,
this Court should conclude that the petitioner never filed the application and the Returning
Officer never had the occasion to pass orders. It has been admitted that Ex.P25, the order
passed by the Returning Officer on the application for recounting, is also not the original.
12
On the other hand, it has been admitted by the Returning Officer that the order was retyped
on 15.05.2023 and the same was communicated to the election agent of the petitioner PW2
- Sri Venugopal. Learned Senior Counsel submitted that these documents, along with
Ex.P12 (e-mail sent by the petitioner to the Election Commission of India) and Ex.P14, the
reply given by the ECI, clearly show that the petitioner had never tendered the application
for recounting on the date of the counting. The claim of the petitioner having filed the
application for counting in a manner known to law have been proved to be a false claim. On
the other hand, the Returning Officer and the other officials are hand in glove with the
petitioner, preparing grounds for recounting.
17.
Insofar as the requirement of law in the matter of recording the counting process and making
available before the court of law for verification, learned Senior Counsel appearing for
respondent No.1 contended that the Hand Book of 2019 is the one that is applicable to the
facts of the present case and not Hand Book of 2023. It is submitted that the Hand Book of
2023 came into effect from 22.08.2023, while the counting in the present case was held on
13.05.2023. It is pointed out that unlike the requirements in the Hand Book 2023 which
prescribe CCTV coverage of the counting process in 360 degrees, what was prescribed in the
Hand Book 2019 is only videography and preservation of the CD recording for verification.
The video recording of the counting process should be treated as secondary evidence, while
all other documentary evidence should be treated as primary evidence. It is submitted that
the primary evidence being made available before this Court, this Court should look into the
primary evidence and decide the matter. The secondary evidence in the form of video
recording can be looked into only if necessary. The petitioner cannot contend that since the
videography is not made available to this Court, adverse inference should be drawn. On the
other hand, if the primary evidence is looked into, more particularly Form-17C Part II, it
would be clear that even in respect of those Forms where the signatures of the counting
agents of the petitioner is not found, the number of votes secured by the petitioner is much
13
more than that of respondent No.1. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner has failed to
prove that the instances of irregularity averred in the petition, have in way materially affected
the result of the election.
18.
Learned
Senior Counsel
Smt. Nalina Mayegowda, has placed reliance on
Harsh Kumar Vs. Bhagwan Sahai Rawat And Others, (2003) 7 SCC
709, to contend that burden of proof is on the petitioner to prove that the election result
was materially affected. Recounting of votes cannot be ordered on the basis of general or
bald allegations. In this regard, reliance is placed on P.H. Pujar Vs. Kanthi
Rajashekar Kidiyappa And Others, (2002) 3 SCC 742. Regarding the
contention that Handbook are only guidelines and instructions contained therein have no
statutory force, reliance is placed on JituPatnaik Vs. Sanatan Mohakud And
Others, (2012) 4 SCC 194. It was pointed out that in Satyanarain Dudhani
Vs. Uday Kumar Singh and Others, 1993 Supp (2) SCC 82, it was held
that recount of votes cannot be ordered only on the basis of defeat by narrow margin.
19.
Learned Senior Counsel, while pointing out to Section 38 of the R. P. Act, read with Rule
49B of the Rules, 1961, submits that the same provide for the order of names of the
candidates to be shown in the balloting unit and accordingly, the name of the respondent
No.1, as sitting MLA should be shown first in the list. This submission is made to demolish
the argument of the petitioner that although the results falling out of the EVM reflected a
particular number of votes to respondent No.1, nevertheless, while entering the same in the
Form 17C Part II, votes secured by other candidates, which are marginal, have been entered
in favour of respondent No.1. It is sought to be contended that in accordance with the order
of the candidates, since name of the first respondent is at Sl.No.1, the votes secured by him
is first entered in the Form 17C Part II. The same cannot be corrected or tampered with. It
is also pointed out from the Ex.P-11 series viz., Form 17C Part II, that there are no
interpolation or overwriting of the number of votes secured by respondent No.1. It should
be mentioned here that that rule prescribes that the names of the candidate should be listed
according to alphabetical order. It does not prescribe that the name of the sitting MLA
should be at Sl.No.1.
14
20.
Learned Senior Counsel submitted while summarizing her arguments, that the petitioner has
failed to prove from the primary evidence brought on record that there has been any
irregularity at the hands of the Returning Officer and other election authorities or that such
discrepancies have in any manner materially affected the result of the election. The petitioner
has failed to substantiate his contention in the election petition by giving precise information
which could be considered by this Court. Vague and bald allegations are made by the
petitioner which are not substantiated by the documentary evidence found on record. It is
submitted that an election petition should be considered as one filed by the petitioner, not
only against the winning candidate, but also against the entire constituency. That is the
reason why it is held that courts should be slow in voiding an election or while directing
recounting. It is submitted that the witnesses of the petitioner are interested parties and they
would naturally support the contention of the petitioner. However, the petitioner has failed
to bring in and examine independent witnesses like the other losing candidates.
21.
Heard learned Senior Counsel Sri.Jayakumar S.Patil, appearing for the petitioner, learned
Senior Counsel
Smt.Nalina
Mayegowda, appearing
for respondent No.1 and
perused the petition papers.
22.
Although various issues are framed, having regard to the pleadings of the parties,
nevertheless, having regard to the subsequent development during the course of these
proceedings, viz., that the video recording of the counting process is not made available to
this Court for verification, this Court is of the considered opinion that the consequences of
the non-production of the video recordings in this election petition is required to be
considered as a preliminary issue.
23.
Various allegations have been made by the petitioner, such as:
(a) the Returning Officer and his team of Election Officers have obtained signatures of
the counting agents of the petitioner even before the EVMs were opened, in violation
of Rule 66A of the Rules, 1961;
(b) the Returning Officer did not pass any order on the application for recounting filed by
the petitioner;
(c) that there was wrong tabulation of the votes by the Returning Officer;
(d) that the signature of the counting agents of the petitioner have not been obtained in
many of Form-17C Part II and in that regard the Returning Officer has contended
15
during his examination that the counting agents of the petitioner were not available at
the table;
(e) that unauthorized persons were permitted to enter the counting centre, etc.
24.
In the considered opinion of this Court, the veracity of such allegation could be easily
verified by looking at the videograph. It could be ascertained as to whether the signatures of the
counting agents of the petitioner were obtained even before the EVMs were opened. It could be
ascertained whether the counting agents of the petitioner were not present at the table at the end of
each round of counting. It could be ascertained whether the petitioner presented an application
seeking recounting to the Returning Officer and if so, at what time? It could be ascertained whether
the Returning Officer considered the application, got the order typed and whether copy of the order
was given to the petitioner. It could be ascertained as to whether any unauthorized person was
permitted to enter the counting centre and whether such persons brought to bear pressure on the
Returning Officer.
25.
This Court is also of the considered opinion that the petitioner has given sufficient
details of the discrepancies in the process of counting. The petitioner has been able to point out to
various Form-17C Part II documents where the signatures of the petitioners counting agents are not
found. In some documents, the petitioner has been able to point out to signatures of fictitious person
signing as the counting agent of the petitioner. The Returning Officer and the other officials have
admitted that copy of the order passed by the Returning Officer, in respect of the application for
recounting, was retyped and a copy was handed over to Sri.Venugopal, on 15.05.2023. This, coupled
with the fact that the original order dated 15.05.2023 is not available with the Returning Officer and
was not found along with documents presented from the strong room, has created sufficient doubt in
the mind of this Court that the Returning Officer may not have passed an order on the day of counting.
If it is found true that no order was passed by the Returning Officer on the application for recounting,
this Court can proceed to hold that the Returning Officer has violated a mandatory provision of the
16
statute. The petitioner has a right to file an application for recounting and he has a right to have the
application considered in accordance with law. However, since the recordings are not available, this
Court should draw adverse inference against the Returning Officer, that he did not pass any order.

This Court is not impressed with the contention of the learned Senior Counsel for
respondent No.1 that the requirement of video recording the process of counting is contained in the
Handbook for Returning Officers which are only guidelines to the Returning Officers and therefore,
it cannot be considered as a mandatory provision. Learned Senior Counsel Sri. Jayakumar S. Patil,
is right in his submission that commencing from Mohinder Singh Gill And Another Vs.
Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi And Others (1978) 1 SCC 405,
and subsequently, in Kanhiya Lal Omar Vs. R.K. Trivedi And Others, (1985) 4
SCC 628, and Union of India Vs. Association for Democratic Reforms and
Another, (2002) 5 SCC 294, the Hon’ble Apex Court has held the Constitution, in terms
of Article 324, has taken care of leaving scope for exercise of residuary power by the Commission in
its own right as a creature of the Constitution in the infinite variety of situations that may emerge
from time to time in a large democracy, as every contingency could not be foreseen or anticipated by
the enacted laws or the rules. By issuing necessary directions, the Commission can fill the vacuum
till there is legislation on the subject. The requirement of recording the entire counting process with
a direction as contained in clause 15.14.8 of the Handbook for Returning Officer, February, 2019,
that the CD of the recording should be kept in safe custody of the District Election Officer; that the
video coverage shall be ensured at the every stage of the counting; the video coverage shall include
the randomisation process, the process of opening the strong room, transfer of EVMs from strong
room to counting hall, counting hall arrangements, process of counting in general, in the counting
hall and process of tabulation in general at the Returning Officers table, the process of counter
checking of two EVMs by the Observers and security arrangements and the process of declaration of
results, etc. and that the videography should indicate the date and time and the video CDs should be
17
sealed, clearly labeling all the details contained therein after the counting process is over for future
reference, cannot be brushed aside as mere guidelines. In fact, clause 15.14.9 provides that a CD
containing the record of complete videography of counting process may be given to candidates free
of cost, on specific demand. The wisdom behind such directions are not far to seek.
(Emphasis supplied)
27.
In similar vein, the requirement of furnishing copies of Form-17C Part II as found in
clause 15.24.2 to the counting agents at every table for their record and verification, is with a laudable
objective of ensuring a clean and transparent election. These provisions also double up providing
essential evidence to the losing candidates to challenge the election of the winning candidate. It
would otherwise be difficult and well-neigh impossible to raise a challenge to an election which
require tenable grounds and documentary proof at the trial. It is with this objective that such
directions are contained in the Handbook for Returning Officers to follow at every step of the election
and counting. Clause 15.24.1 also directs that after votes secured by each candidates are displayed
in the display panel of the EVMs, the counting supervisor should record the number of such votes
separately in respect of each candidate in “Part IIresult of counting” of Form 17C. The counting
supervisor should note down in Part II of Form 17C whether the total number of votes as shown in
that part tallies with the total number of votes shown against Item 6 of Part I of that Form or any
discrepancy has been noticed between the two totals. It directs that after completing that Form in all
respects, the counting supervisors should sign it and he should get it signed by the candidates or their
agents present at the counting table. Therefore, if allegations are made that the signatures of the
counting agents were taken even before the EVMs were opened or that the signatures of the counting
agents were not taken in Form 17C Part II, then the same could have been verified by looking at the
video recordings.
28.
It should be mentioned that during the course of the proceedings, when the DEO failed
to produce the video recordings, this Court issued notice to the Election Commission of India.
Affidavits were filed by the DEO pursuant to summons issued by this Court along with
18
communications made to the service provider and the reply given by the service provider that it had
handed over the hard disk containing the video recordings and upon receipt of all the data, completion
certificate was issued to them by the DEO. The Election Commission of India is aware of all these
developments, however, all efforts made by this Court to secure the video recordings have gone in
vain.
29.
This Court need not look any further than the recent decision of the Hon’ble Apex
Court in the case of VijayBahadur(supra)where it was held at paragraphs
No.33 and 34, as follows:
“33. The candidates in the election wanting to keep an eye on
voting during the day and inspect records of the same is something
which cannot be denied to them. If the Presiding Officers' records
are missing and cannot be verified, it can be found that the final
conclusion is within the realm of questionability. Each and every
document pertaining to an election is important and all efforts
should be made to preserve the same.
34. The election in question took place in the year 2021 and the
process of law has culminated by way of this judgment, four years
later. For the reasons aforesaid, that three of the four candidates
question the veracity of the election and the manner in which it was
conducted, and that important documents pertaining to the election
are missing and such absence is unexplained, we are of the view in
the present facts that a re-count would be justified.”
30.
In the said case, the Hon’ble Apex Court noticed the fact that allegations were made
that there is disparity in the count of votes informed to the appellant therein and that which was finally
disclosed in the official form. It was found that the diary of the Presiding Officer of the polling
booths, which is an essential document recording the casting of votes could not be found despite a
consorted effort. Even under those circumstances, the Apex Court held that the Presiding Officers
records are missing and cannot be verified, and therefore, the final conclusion was within the realm
19
of questionability. It was held that each and every document pertaining to an election is an important
document and all efforts should be made to preserve the same for verification.
31.
In that view of the matter, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioner
has made out a case for directing recounting of the votes.
32.
Accordingly, the Election Petition is allowedin part, directing recounting of
votes and then, to declare the results afresh. The election of respondent No.1 to Malur Assembly
Constituency, Kolar District, (Karnataka Assembly Constituency No.149) during the elections held
in May-2023 is hereby set aside. The Election Commission of India, is directed to ensure recounting
of votes and declaration of results afresh, of Malur Assembly Constituency, Kolar District (Karnataka
Assembly Constituency No.149), within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment. All other procedures after declaration of results shall be followed, in accordance with law.
33.
Pending Interlocutory Applications, if any, stand disposed of.
34.
Registry is directed to communication this judgment to the following forthwith,
through Speed Post as well as e-mail:
1)
The Secretary, Election Commission of India, Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road,
New Delhi-110 001.

action shall be taken against the District Election Officer, in accordance with law.
