The Kerala High Court on November 28 (Tuesday) set aside the election of Anirudhan K.S., SFI candidate, to the post of chairman of the college union of Sree Kerala Varma College, Thrissur. The court also directed the Returning Officer to carry out recounting of the votes polled for the chairman post in accordance with the provision of the election bylaws issued by the University of Calicut and declare the results.
Justice T.R. Ravi passed the directives after declaring that the counting and recounting of votes polled for the post of chairman were done not in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the university election bylaws.
The verdict was given by the court while disposing of a writ petition filed by Sreekuttan S., KSU chairman candidate, challenging the election of his rival candiate to the post of chairman.
