What is this about?
Alleged ballot tampering in Bar Council elections prompted challenges to the election and requests for action.

What did the court decide?
Observer-supervised counting and ballot inspection directed; report to be considered by the Bar Council’s Special Committee. Liberty to approach the election tribunal preserved.
