JASVIR SINGH Vs. THE PRESIDING OFFICER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) C.M. No. 22273-CII of 2015

(2.) It is the contention of the learned counsel for the appellant that the only emphasis of the appellant-petitioner was for recount of the votes as there was a difference of only two votes between the appellant and respondent No. 3 in the elections. He contends that merely on technical grounds, the election petition has been dismissed. He submits that the intent as has already been stated was for recounting of the votes as the margin between the votes was very less and merely because it has not been mentioned that the eleven votes which have been cancelled, have been so done wrongly would not deny him the benefit of rechecking of the votes to ascertain whether these were rightly or wrongly cancelled. He contends that the impugned order, thus, cannot sustain.

(3.) I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the appellant and with his assistance, have gone through the impugned order as also the pleadings which have been placed on record.
