Smt. Lali Devi vs State Of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. ... on 2 February, 2023
In this regard, the judgments of the Uday Chand (supra), Arikala Narasa Reddy (supra) & Amit Narain Rai (supra) over which reliance have been placed by the learned counsel for the petitioner all indicate that a direction for re-counting of votes can be done and the Court would be justified in ordering a re-count of the ballot papers where the Court trying the petition is prima facie satisfied that the making of such an order is imperatively necessary to decide the dispute and to do complete and effectual justice between the parties.
