Supreme Court directs to treat 8 invalidated ballots as valid in Chandigarh Mayor poll
The Supreme Court on Tuesday examined the eight defaced ballot papers of the Chandigarh mayor poll and video recording of the counting process following the contentious victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and ordered to treat the eight invalidated ballots as valid.
A bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud while pulling up returning officer Anil Masih for ''contempt of court”, directed to treat the eight invalidated ballots as valid.
The Bench said that the invalidated ballots “shall be recounted… treated as valid” and “results declared on the basis of that”.
