On that basis, a recrimination petition is maintainable only where a valid claim for such additional declaration is legally available; if the petitioner is merely an elector, no corresponding right to recriminate arises and the petition is not maintainable. The election challenge therefore remains confined to the general contest to the returned candidate, without the additional declaration relief. en-us Fri, 15 Nov 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 12:18:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289033 An elector petitioner cannot claim the additional declaration that he himself or another candidate has been duly elected under the election law, because the statutory scheme contemplates that relief only for a contesting candidate.
