In the absence of any allegation levied by any candidate, and in the search of the Election Commission that did not produce a correct result in handwritten Form XIV, the Commission could not direct a re-election if the results were tampered with. In the absence of a finding, the Election Commission could not have formed the same basis for re-polling on the basis that the Presiding Officer did not receive the signature of the candidates or their agents on Form XIV. Representation Section 103 nor 103 AA of the People's Act 1976 could be directed to re-polling at two polling stations again by the Election Commission.

By presiding officers of the two polling stations present, the High Court, which reflected the actual results of the polling stations, announced that the candidates would get the maximum number of votes as the candidates were allowed to apply under it. female advocates from Lahore lawyer
