Aggrieved, the YSRCP approached the High Court praying that the counting of votes scheduled on 04-06-2024 take place in accordance with the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 and ECI&#8217;s instructions of 2023. The High Court dismissed the petition on the ground of availability of alternative remedy, thus the present petition was filed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">As per the Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961, if a postal ballot is not duly signed by the elector and attested by an authorized officer, it is to be rejected. The only exception as per ECI Instructions of 2023 is when the authorized officer does not put his seal on Form 13A, but otherwise mentions his name and designation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that &#8220;in the facts and circumstances of this case, we do not find any merit&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that there was no need to interfere with the High Court&#8217;s decision to decline relief to the political party, since an election petition could be filed in the matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight:
