The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled Kuldeep Kumar the lawful winner of last month's Chandigarh mayoral election, ending weeks of controversy fuelled by the Returning Officer, Anil Masih, deliberately invalidating eight votes for the AAP leader.
The Supreme Court has directed the Chandigarh administration to recount votes from last month's mayoral election, and include eight - all in favour of the Aam Aadmi Party - declared "invalid" by Returning Officer Anil Masih.
The eight "defaced" ballot papers - from last month's controversial Chandigarh mayoral election - which are at the heart of a bitter fight between the AAP and the BJP must be shown to the Supreme Court Tuesday, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said.
