In this connection, the judgment and decision in the case of P.N. Ponnuswami v. Returning Officer , may be taken note of. In the aforesaid decision, the Supreme Court has given a wide meaning to the word "Election" so as to connote the entire process culminating in a candidate being declared elected. The election, therefore, really includes the entire procedure to be gone through to return a candidate to the Legislature".

Mohinder Singh Gill & Anr vs The Chiief Election Commissioner, New ... on 2 December, 1977

The same principle has been enunciated in the judgment and decision in the case of Mohinder Singh Gill v. Chief Election Commissioner , wherein it was laid down that the election "commences from the initial election notification and culminates in the declaration of the return of a candidate". Election process, thus, comes to an end on "the final declaration of returned candidates". More or less the same procedure as in the Representation of Peoples Act has been provided in the Statute with which we are concerned. In the present case, the same definition of election has to be applied to the election held under the U.P. Panchayat Raj Act and the Rules. In our view, on proper interpretation of the Statute, after the election process has come to an end, the State Election Commissioner, District Magistrate and the Election Officer cease to have any jurisdiction and the only authority which can deal with an decide any complaint regarding the election is the Election Tribunal. As a corollary, it follows that the State Election Commissioner, District Magistrate and Election Officer can neither cancel the poll/declaration of the result nor can direct for a fresh poll and recounting after the candidate has been declared elected, but such a declaration has to be in accordance with law.
