AZMAT KHAN vs KHILLAN SINGH & OTHERS

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision which set aside the election of the appellant based on a recount of votes conducted under Section 97 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court held that the facts of the case were distinguishable from the precedent in Jabar Singh v. Genda Lal, as the appellant had recriminated and agreed to the recount. Consequently, the High Court's ruling was upheld, confirming Khillan Singh as the duly elected candidate.
