Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, (Oral) Only argument raised by learned counsel for the appellant is that recount of votes has been done by the Tribunal by delegating its power to the S.D.M. Learned counsel for the appellant relies upon two decisions of this Court in the cases of Satnam Singh Vs. Kamaljeet Singh 2000 (4) R.C.R.(Civil) 525 and Darshan Singh Vs. Deputy Commissioner-cum- President Officer Election Tribunal and others 2000 (3) R.C.R. (Civil ) 271 to contend that the Tribunal cannot delegate it's power for the purpose of recount of votes. Learned counsel for the respondents has fairly conceded that the matter may be remanded back for the purpose of recounting of votes by the Tribunal itself. In view of the above, order of Election Tribunal, Deputy FAO No.4809 of 2009 -2- Commissioner, Mansa, dated 31.8.2009. is hereby set aside and the matter is remanded back to the Election Tribunal, Mansa for the purpose of recounting of votes in the presence of respective parties who are directed to appear there in person on 24.2.2010.
