1. Counting of Gujarat Assembly polls at 37 centres today For the Gujarat Assembly election, votes will be counted at 37 centres amidst tight security and in the presence of Election Commission of India (EC)-appointed observers across the State.

Counting of votes for Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls today More than 10,000 security personnel, returning officers, and other support staff will oversee the counting of votes for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly election on Thursday. The counting will be in 68 counting halls spread across 59 locations throughout the State, Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Maneesh Garg said on Wednesday. 3. Counting of votes in Mainpuri LS seat, six assembly constituencies Counting of votes will be held on Thursday for by-elections in six assembly constituencies in five states and the high-profile Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat, where the Samajwadi Party is locked in a battle for prestige with the BJP. Rampur and Khatauli in Uttar Pradesh, Padampur in Odisha, Sardarshahar in Rajasthan, Kurhani in Bihar and Bhanupratappur in Chhattisgarh are the assembly seats where results will be declared on December 8, coinciding with the ballot count for Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections. 4. Jallikattu hearing to continue at SC The Supreme Court, which is hearing a challenge to a Tamil Nadu law allowing “jallikattu”, on Wednesday said it will be a “very dangerous situation” if the court made an impression based on photographs placed before it by some petitioners to depict alleged cruelty to bulls during the bull-taming sport. A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Justice K M Joseph said it cannot hold that the provision enacted in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960 by a state amendment with the assent of the President is “bad in law” because the photographs say so.
