The constitutional bench of the Supreme Court has explained that if fraud or irregularity has occurred during the election, it should be countered or rejected in time.

The constitutional bench of then Chief Justice Vishwambhar Prasad Shrestha, judges Sapna Pradhan Malla, Prakash Kumar Dhungana, Kumar Regmi and Manoj Kumar Sharma made this comment while explaining a dispute related to the election held in November 2079. 

The Supreme Court has given this explanation in full while dismissing the writ filed by Sukeshwar Yadav, a candidate of Constituency 1 (A) of Dhanusha. Jaspa's Yadav was defeated by Nepali Congress's Sanjay Kumar Mahato. 

Mahato got 10 thousand 955 votes and Yadav got 10 thousand 949 votes. Yadav was defeated by 6 votes. Mahato has been recognized along with the full text of the Supreme Court.

He came to the Supreme Court after being defeated by a narrow margin. The Constitutional Bench gave a verdict on 2nd May 2081 to dismiss the writ. 

The act of rejecting the counting of votes as per the decision of Yadav himself with his consent and the correct seal, after the result of the vote was not favorable to him, did not seem favorable to the principle of the constitution. Such conduct cannot be considered sane, rational and acceptable from a judicial point of view,'' the full text of the judgment says, 'the tendency to change the decision based on personal interest once agreed upon should be considered as dirty. Therefore, it does not appear that the petition for re-counting of votes can reach the claim.

It is mentioned in the full text that the act of counting of votes was done according to the agreement reached in the all-party/all-party discussion in which the petitioner was also present.

"Since it is not seen that the petitioner has actively participated in the entire process of counting of votes, and has not registered a complaint with the Election Officer regarding the process of counting of votes, the present petition cannot reach the claim," the judgment said, "The petition is considered to be dismissed." Do it according to other details.'
