3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that there has to be imperative necessity and a foundation by bringing material on record and adducing cogent evidence in absence of the same there cannot be an order of recounting of votes. He would next contend that in this regard an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of the CPC was filed by the petitioner, however, the same was not taken into consideration and without deciding the same the order of recounting has been passed,
