ANIL DATTATRAY PARAB vs ELECTION COMMISSIONER . — SLP(C) No. 11739/2011

Summary: SLP(C) No. 11739/2011 - Anil Dattatray Parab v. Election Commissioner Petitioner Anil Parab challenged the June 2010 Maharashtra Legislative Council elections, seeking to void the 10 elected candidates' results and have a recount conducted. The Bombay High Court permitted a bye-election for a vacancy created by Respondent Dutt's resignation, despite the pending election petition. The Supreme Court dismissed Parab's appeal, holding that the petitioner's relief prospects remained unaffected since Dutt's electoral success would stand regardless of any recount—his surplus votes had already been distributed to other candidates whom Parab himself needed to benefit from.
