RESPECTFULLY SHOWTH:
1. That I have been telephonically instructed by my

3. That today before the declaration of Election Result
when my client along with the residents of his village went for the watching
the EVM at Booth No. 46 situated at village Kharak Pandawa, they were surprised
to see that my client had got only 134 votes, which was next to impossible as
this is her own village. On stiff opposition of villagers the EVM was checked,
whereupon my client’s vote dramatically increased to 291. On further enquiry,
it was revealed that an EVM had been removed and sent at some other unknown
place. When the people made hue and cry and media persons reached at the spot,
one EVM was brought back to Booth No. 46, from some undisclosed location, which
is as per my client, is duly recorded by the media persons.
4. That as per my client, the EVM was fraudulently
removed from the Booths by some corrupt officials in collusion with the
opponent Suman Devi from village Kurar, who has
been declared winner with the only margin of 6(Six) votes.
5. That apart from the aforesaid incident other
malapractices and corrupt means were also adopted by the winning candidate, due
to constraint of time the same cant be worded in the complaint, which will be
unearthed only by independent investigation
6. That as per the version of my client, prima-facie, the
concerned officials in collusion with the opposite candidate committed the
breach of official duties, removed the EVM from polling station, i.e., from the
Booth No. 46, Kharak Pandawa.
7. That the concerned officials have committed the
offences u/s 184, , 184, 186 and 187 of the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994
and other connected serious offences under the Indian Penal Code.
It is, therefore, prayed that:
(1) Please direct the concerned officers to take
cognisance of the election offences
(2)Please invalidate the election and order fresh
election.

in the light of the aforesaid facts and circumstances.
