During the hearing, the court clarified that re-polling falls under the Election Commission's authority. It emphasized that the judiciary will not interfere in matters under the Commission's jurisdiction, upholding the integrity of the electoral process.
In Ontimitta, TDP candidate Muddukrishna Reddy secured 12,780 votes, defeating YSRCP's Iragamreddy Subbareddy, who received 6,513 votes. The results marked a significant setback for the ruling party in its strongholds.
YSRCP alleged that shifting polling booths and rigging by the TDP contributed to their loss. However, the High Court's ruling confirmed that the elections were conducted fairly and within the Election Commission's framework.
