NEW DLEHI, Feb 20: Supreme Court on Tuesday declared Aam Aadmi Party Councillor Kuldeep Kumar as the Mayor of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation.
The Court declared the results announced by the Presiding Officer Anil Masih on January 30, 2024, whereby the BJP candidate Manoj Kumar Sonkar was declared as the winner, to be illegal and set it aside.
The Court found that the Presiding Officer had deliberately defaced 8 ballots which were cast in favour of Kuldeep Kumar so as to make them invalid.
