New Delhi: On the second day of hearing in the Chandigarh mayoral polls matter on Tuesday, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud said that the Supreme Court will direct that the votes at the poll shall be recounted and these 8 shall be treated as valid and results be declared on the basis of that.
Showing the ballots to the lawyers, which were invalidated by the presiding officer Anil Masih, CJI said that all 8 have received the stamp for Kuldeep Kumar (AAP candidate).
“The votes are cast for Kuldeep Kumar. What he (returning officer) does is, he puts a single line. Just one line, as seen in the video,” CJI said.
The court is likely to pronounce the order shortly.
