Recounting of ballot papers

--- S. 95 --- Consolidation of results --- Recounting of ballot papers --- Scope --- Recounting is always allowed on the basis of some material establishing illegality and irregularity in the count and the powers to recount should be allowed sparingly after satisfaction of the material/evidence that there is every inclusion/exclusion of the ballot paper in the count --- Sanctity of the ballot is sacrosanct and therefore should not be allowed to be violated on frivolous/vague and indefinite allegations not supported by adequate statements of detailed material facts --- It should only be allowed to do full justice between the parties without a roving inquiry with a view to fish material to declare the election as void.

--- S. 95 --- Consolidation of results --- Recounting of ballot papers --- Scope --- Recounting is an administrative act with all its consequences with respect to the remedies available under the law.
