In the absence of any foundational material establishing that exactly one postal vote meant for Tirupattur constituency (number 185) in Sivaganga district was wrongly sent to Tirupattur constituency (number 50) in Tirupattur district and that such alleged irregularity had any material effect upon the election result, the said allegation, by itself, cannot constitute a complete cause of action: Justice G.K.

Senior Counsel G. Masilamani, representing Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, on Monday wondered how the Election Commission of India can make a case pending before the #MadrasHighCourt infructuous by deciding not to conduct byelections in five vacant constituencies until the disposal of election petitions. He said, the ECI has not clarified whether the decision was taken suo motu or on the basis of a representation made by the PIL petitioner K. Venkatachalapathy of Tirunelveli @THChennai
