00:00There should be a show of hands and there should not be a secret ballot.

00:05We have passed a resolution for the councillor.

00:09It is binding as such, without any government interference.

00:13Thirdly, they said that when the notification was issued by the Deputy Commissioner,

00:17there was an HCS officer to assist him.

00:21His name is written there.

00:22He is a nominated councillor who has applied in the Prescribed Authority.

00:26It is his jurisdiction.

00:28The first issue was rejected by the petitioners.

00:32It will not be approved on 20th February.

00:34At the most, it will be approved on 29th or 30th January.

00:37He will continue till 29th January.

00:39Because the previous meeting, which the Supreme Court did not satisfy,

00:44the court accepted that it is valid.

00:47It will not be approved on 29th January for a year.

00:50That is why the notification was rejected.

00:53A new notification will be issued after 29th January.

00:56The show of hands petition was also rejected.

01:00It is not a show of power.

01:02The resolution passed by the Municipal Corporation is valid.

01:05It will go to the Governor.

01:07The Governor may consider it or reject it, whatever.

01:10There is no time for that.

01:11The Administrator, who is the Administrator for Chandigarh.

01:14The third contention, the Chandigarh Administration said in its reply,

01:18that we took precautionary measures.

01:20Because there is a fight about which officer is allowed and which is not.

01:24That is why we have no objection.

01:26You may satisfy that portion of the notification.

01:29Because we had a fight last year,

01:32that who will assist the officer,

01:34or there is no point in assisting the officer.

01:37The prescribed authority has made a nominated councillor.

01:40How can we overcome that?

01:42So, all three contentions,

01:44according to my understanding,

01:47all three were rejected and the third one was approved.

01:50Their main concern was that we will get a year from February and they rejected it.

01:55The writ petition that was listed here,

01:58we filed it last week.

02:00Our main prayer was in it.

02:02Kuldeep Kumar, the Mayor of Chandigarh,

02:05had filed it.

02:07We had two prayers in it.

02:09The first was that the tenure,

02:11when the petitioner was elected from the Supreme Court on February 2,

02:16the election was satisfied and he was elected from the Supreme Court on February 2,

02:21the tenure of one year was reduced by January 24.

02:26This was the first ground.

02:28The second ground was that

02:31the regulation,

02:33a meeting was held on October 29,

02:36in which the resolution was passed by the House,

02:40and the regulation was amended

02:42that the elections should be by show of hands.

02:45We filed the writ petition in the High Court.

02:48The High Court ordered that

02:53on the day of the election on January 30,

02:57the election was satisfied on February 2,

03:03and the election was held on January 30.

03:05Therefore, the date of the Mayor's election is January 30,

03:12and the tenure was held till January 29.

03:15The notification on January 7,

03:18in which the election was held on January 24,

03:20that notification was satisfied.

03:23The administration was given the direction

03:26that the election can be held after January 29,

03:30and a fresh notification can be made after that.

03:33Apart from this, there was the issue of show of hands.

03:35In the show of hands, the court ordered

03:38that the administration reconsider it,

03:41because the regulation was already passed.

03:43After that, the government had a ground

03:46that the government has to approve it.

03:48The court said that it is approved

03:50that it should be reconsidered

03:52whether it should be done in this election or not.

03:55Apart from this, the third ground was that

03:57the prescribed deputy commissioners

04:00had already appointed an officer

04:03from the presiding officer

04:05to count the votes.

04:07They were already appointed by the DC

04:10The court also satisfied the illegal order.

04:14Apart from this, there was the issue of videography.

04:17The court ordered the videography

04:20to be preserved in the same way

04:22as the first direction was given.
