The Supreme Court rebuked the Election Commission of India after it said it could not trace the 2023 vote-counting video from Sringeri.
The bench said it would not accept “lame excuses” and warned that it could draw an adverse inference if the records are not produced.
The case concerns an election petition over Sringeri Assembly constituency, where a recount changed the result between Congress leader TD Rajegowda and BJP candidate DN Jeevaraj.
One analysis says Rajegowda originally won by 201 votes before the recount declared Jeevaraj the winner; another says a recount reversed the original result and left Rajegowda pending the Supreme Court’s review.
The court told the poll body to produce available records by the next hearing, and one report says the matter was posted for hearing on February 15, 2027.
