(‘the Rules’ for short). It is urged that the petitioners should be treated as eligible voters and their votes to be counted as valid votes.
6.
Learned counsel for respondent No.3-Society fairly submits that the society has not followed the mandatory requirement of the aforementioned rules and cast votes of the petitioners to be included while counting and the results to be announced.
