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.
