The appellant and the 5th respondent polled six votes in the election held for electing the President of the 3rd respondent Panchayat. The first respondent Returning Officer proceeded to draw lots. The appellant was declared elected and sworn in as the President of the Panchayat. The 5th respondent complained to the first respondent that the procedure adopted was illegal. The appellant is informed by Ext.P2 that she could assume the office of the 4th respondent (State Election Commission). By Ext.P3, the 4th respondent found that the procedure adopted for selecting the appellant was wrong in purported exercise of supervisory powers of the 4th respondent and the declaration of the results as well as the selection of the appellant was found to be ab initio void.
