4. The 1st respondent has opposed the application.

5. The petitioner has filed objections to the report of recounting. It is contended that recounting has not been done as directed by this Court and it does not conform to the direction of this Court.

6. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the recounting has not been done as directed by this Court. He also submitted that the Control Units in respect of which defects were noticed by this Court have not been excluded. Further he submitted that in respect of three EVMs bearing Nos.D30313, C45271 and C40048 the paper seal was intact and they were not counted earlier and therefore, they should have been excluded. He therefore submitted that the recounting has not been done as directed by this Court and therefore, it cannot be accepted.

7. As against this, the learned counsel for the 1st respondent submitted that the recounting has been done as directed by this Court and also the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Further he submitted that all precautions have been taken to verify the defects noticed by this Court and thereafter, recounting has been done and therefore, it does not call for interference.

8. I have carefully considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and also perused the report of recounting.

9. The report of recounting shows that precautions have been taken to verify the defects noticed by this Court. The documents produced clearly show that precautions have been taken to verify the defects noticed by this Court in respect of Control unit numbers, Form No.17C Part-I and Part-II. After verifying the defects referring to randomized list and 17-A register and identifying the control unit numbers, recounting has been done. In respect of three EVMs endorsement has been issued explaining how the seal was broken earlier. The number of votes secured by the candidates remains unaltered. There is no change. The 1 st respondent has secured highest number of votes i.e., 4,02,213. The 2nd respondent has secured 3,99,970 votes. It is clear, the 1st respondent has secured highest number of votes. Therefore, the election of 1st respondent to 9, Bellary (ST) Parliamentary constituency does not call for interference.

10. Accordingly, E.P4/2009 is hereby dismissed.

11. I.A.2/2012 also dismissed.
