Applying the rule that fractions of a day are not counted and that a minimum interval means clear days, the Court excluded both the day of notice and the day of election. That left only six clear days between publication on 14 October 1955 and the election on 21 October 1955, so the notice did not satisfy the statutory minimum period. The election proceedings were therefore held invalid and liable to be quashed. en-us Wed, 07 Nov 1956 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 12:05:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175778 A statutory election notice requirement under Rule 4 of the Panchayat Election Rules, 1954 was treated as mandatory and requiring seven clear days' notice before the election date.
