THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.G.PANDIT
ORAL JUDGMENT
The above election petitions are filed challenging election
of respondent No.1 Sri.M.K.Pranesh to 12, Chikkamagalur
Local Authority Constituency, 2021. This Court by order
dated 29.01.2025 passed the following order:
8
“(a) The Returning Officer of 12 Chikkamagaluru
Local Authorities Constituency-2021 is directed to
secure the ballot boxes containing ballot papers of
the
election
to
12
Chikkamagaluru
Local
Authorities
Constituency-2021
held on
14.12.2021.
(b) Open the Ballot Boxes and segregate the
ballot papers of 12 nominated members based
on the counter foil of the ballot papers, serial
numbers of ballot papers, without affecting the
secrecy of votes casted.
(c) Thereafter, recount the valid votes polled
excluding
the
ballot
papers/votes
of
12
nominated members, following the procedure
prescribed for recounting of votes and submit
report on recounting of votes to this Court.
(d) The above process shall be completed within
30 days and the report shall be filed on or before
07.03.2025.
Registry is directed to communicated this order
to the following, through speed post as well as
email:
(1)
The Secretary, Election Commission of
India, Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road, New
Delhi110001.
(2)
Chief Electoral Officer, Office of the Chief
Electoral Officer, State
of Karnataka,
Seshadri Road, Bengaluru-560 001.
(3)
The District
Election
Officer,
Chikkamagaluru, Chikkamagaluru District.
9
(4)
The Returning officer, 12-Chikkamagaluru
Local Authorities Constituency-2021.”
2. This was the subject matter of Civil Appeal Nos.9032-
9034/2026 and connected appeals. The Hon'ble Apex Court
by judgment dated 16.07.2026 affirmed the order of High
Court directing recounting of votes and passed the following
order:
“48. in view of the aforesaid discussion, we are
of the view that the nominated members
appointed under Section 352(1)(b) of the KMA
were not entitled to be included in the electoral
roll
prepared
for
the
Local
Authorities’
Constituency and their inclusion was contrary
to the constitutional scheme and cannot be
sustained in law.
49. For the aforesaid reasons, we find no error
in the view taken by the High Court of
Karnataka in the impugned common order
dated 29.01.2025 in Election Petition Nos.1, 2
and 3 of 2022 and in the impugned common
judgment and order dated 20.04.2023 in Writ
Appeal Nos.1247, 1256 and 1250 of 2022.
Accordingly,
the
present
appeals
stand
dismissed.
50. The Registry is directed to transmit the
sealed cover containing the recount report and
the revised result to the Registrar General,
High Court of Karnataka, forthwith. The
respondent-authorities thereafter shall take
10
appropriate steps as per the directions issued
by the High Court in the order dated
29.01.2025 passed in Election Petition No.1 of
2022 and the allied matters, within a period of
30 days from the date of this judgment, and
thereafter, submit the report before the High
Court
as
directed
in
the
order
dated
29.01.2025.”
3.
In view of the above judgment of the Hon'ble Apex
Court, recounting of votes which has already taken
place shall have to be given effect to. The Hon'ble
Apex Court by order dated 17.02.2025 in the above
stated Civil Appeals had observed that recounting may
take place. However, the result shall not be notified
and the same be produced before the Hon'ble Apex
Court in a sealed cover. Accordingly, on recounting of
votes, sealed cover containing result was placed
before the Hon'ble Apex Court. The Hon'ble Apex
Court in the course of the above order has recorded
that it opened the sealed cover and on perusal of the
contents of sealed cover, the Hon'ble Apex Court was
of the opinion that the result demonstrates that
exclusion of invalid votes alters the outcome and
continuation of returned candidate would perpetuate
illegality.
4.
Today, before the learned counsel Sri. Nishanth A.V.,
along with Sri.Karthik C, learned counsel for
petitioners in E.P.No.1/2022; Sri.Rohan Hosmath,
learned counsel for petitioners in E.P.no.2/2022 and
learned senior counsel Sri. Kantharaj H.N. along with
Sri.H.K. Ravi, learned counsel for the petitioner in
11
E.P.No.3/2022 and Sri.R. Hemanth Raj, learned
counsel for respondent returned candidate, the sealed
cover received from the Hon'ble Apex Court which
contained report with regard to recounting was
opened.
5.
Learned counsel Sri. Hemanth Raj appearing for
respondent No.1 Sri.M.K. Pranesh submitted that this
respondent has filed Review Petitions bearing Dairy
Nos.45543/2026,
45547/2026,
45172/2026
and
45551/2026 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court
praying to review the judgment dated 16.07.2026 in
Civil Appeals No.9032-9034 of 2026 and connected
appeals. However, he submits that the review
petitions are yet to be listed before the respective
bench.
6.
The above submission
of
learned
counsel
Sri.Hemanth Raj is noted for the purpose of rejection
in view of directions of the Hon'ble Apex Court to
conclude the procedure within a period of 30 days
from the date of judgment.
7.
