There is a bigger twist to this judgement. By giving up one seat, BJ Party is actually seeking a precedent that "already validated" ballots cannot be re-examined. So pliable ROs and ECs can create ruckus during actual counting, certify the ballots as "validated" and declare favourable results. Once challenged, they will quote this judgement and prevent re-examination of "validated" ballots. Save this tweet. Watch the space in future. #timestamp


“‘We will not be mute bystanders while this kind of hijacking of democracy happens.’ — Supreme Court of India. A 201-vote victory. 279 rejected postal ballots. Only 8 later found valid. Yet the Returning Officer allegedly went beyond the court’s order and reopened over 1,200 already validated postal ballots — ultimately unseating the elected MLA and declaring another candidate the winner. Inside the Supreme Court today, judges repeatedly questioned one central issue: How can already validated ballots be re-verified when the High Court order only spoke about rejected ballots? The bench made it clear: “There is no question of re-verification of already validated postal ballots.” And when counsel argued that the new MLA had already been sworn in, the Court responded: “So what? It has to be reversed.” The Court also warned: “Fait accompli is not going to help.” And most significantly: “We cannot let you hijack democracy like this.” Now the entire electoral process in Karnataka’s Sringeri seat is under the Supreme Court’s scanner — with questions being raised over recounting powers, Returning Officer conduct, and whether constitutional democracy can be altered through procedural overreach. This case may become one of the most important election law battles in recent years. @KapilSibal @KBanerjee_AITC @Mukul_Rohatgi #SupremeCourt #Democracy #ElectionCommission #Karnataka #ElectionLaw #PostalBallots #IndianPolitics #Constitution #Judiciary #BreakingNews #RuleOfLaw #ElectoralReforms #Sringeri #KapilSibal #democracyunderthreat
