AAP Candidate Kuldeep Kumar To Be Chandigarh Mayor: Supreme Court
Chandigarh Mayor Election matter | Supreme Court orders that AAP candidate is declared to be the validly elected candidate for the post of Mayor of Chandigarh Municipal Corporation.
Supreme Court orders that 8 votes which were treated as invalid, were validly passed in favour of AAP candidate Kuldeep Kumar and says counting the eight votes for him will make him have 20 votes.
We direct that the election result by the presiding officer is quashed, says the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court says a fit case is made out for the initiation of proceedings under Section 340 CrPC against Anil Masih, Returning Officer of Chandigarh Mayor poll; directs Registrar Judicial to issue a notice to him to show cause as to why steps should not be initiated against him.
