Section 26 Chhattisgarh Municipalities Act | Minor Counting Errors Insufficient to Overturn Election; Gross Illegality Required: Chhattisgarh HC

The judgment reinforces that objections must be raised during the counting process to be valid, protecting municipal election outcomes from frivolous challenges.
