YOGENDRA SINGH TOMAR vs BAR COUNCIL OF UTTARAKHAND

The Supreme Court held that the election process for the Chairman of the Bar Council of Uttarakhand was flawed due to the absence of an election tribunal as mandated by the Bar Council of Uttarakhand Election Rules, 2009. The Court directed the High Court to open the sealed cover containing disputed ballot papers and examine them to ensure compliance with the Rules. The order of the Division Bench of the High Court was quashed, allowing the learned Single Judge to take appropriate action regarding the election results.
