Where the total number of votes cast in a centre exceeds either the total number of ballot papers issued to the centre or the total number of votes enrolled for that centre, or if during the counting of ballot papers a ballot box is found missing or it is snatched away or if the Presiding Officer makes glaringly contradictory reports as to the result of the counting of votes, without reasonable explanation, then the Election Commission need not wait for determination of the dispute by the Election Tribunal.

Chairman election matter–
No complaint was made by the petitioner or anyone else during polling hours and there was delay of seven days in lodging any complaint, we do not find any merit in this petition. We take support from the view expressed in the case of Altaf Hossain vs Abul Kashem and others, 45 DLR (AD)53, where it was observed that where allegation is brought after the declaration of the result then it is always desirable that dispute, if any, should go to the Tribunal for determination. Facts and circumstances discussed above, we do not find any illegality or impropriety in the decision of the High Court Division to discharge the Rule Nisi. The civil petition for leave to appeal is dismissed. .....Syed Shariful Islam =VS= Md. Toufiqul Islam Toufiq, (Civil), 2018 (2) [5 LM (AD) 354] ....View Full Judgment
