As per case facts, an election petition was filed alleging irregularities. The Election Tribunal initially ordered recounting without allowing cross-examination of witnesses. The High Court previously remanded the matter, directing ... proper procedure including cross-examination and recording satisfaction for recounting. Despite these clear directions, the Tribunal again ordered a recount without framing issues or recording proper satisfaction, and the recount was initiated swiftly, undermining the statutory appeal period. The petitioner appealed to the High Court, asserting that the Tribunal bypassed due process and failed to adhere to the High Court's prior instructions. The question arose whether the Election Tribunal's order for recounting, issued without framing issues or recording satisfaction, was legally sustainable given the procedural requirements of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act and the Civil Procedure Code. Finally, the High Court found the Tribunal's procedure biased and illegal. It quashed the impugned order, directing the Tribunal to frame proper issues, grant three opportunities for evidence, and complete the process within a specified timeframe, advising the Presiding Officer to act with more care.
