Karnataka High Court orders recheck of 279 Sringeri postal ballots, stay for two weeks

The Karnataka High Court has ordered a re-verification of 279 rejected postal ballots from the Sringeri Assembly constituency. This follows a challenge by the defeated BJP candidate. The court also mandated a recounting of these ballots if the re-verification warrants it. The Congress winner's advocate has secured a two-week stay to appeal this decision in the Supreme Court.
