DNA TV Show: How Supreme Court declared Chandigarh mayor poll verdictThis would be the first time in history that the result of an election has been declared by Supreme Court. The Supreme Court on Tuesday declared defeated AAP-Congress alliance candidate Kuldeep Kumar as the new mayor of Chandigarh. BJP had won the Chandigarh mayoral polls after the returning officer Anil Masih declared as invalid eight votes of the coalition partners. The Supreme Court has used this constitutional power to declare the results of the mayor election. The Supreme Court also admitted that if fresh elections are held, there is a fear of horse trading of councillors.
