Overview
- The re‑election held on Saturday produced narrow margins with Upasana Singh top of the poll on 360 votes and Sahila Chadha close behind on 357, and full vote totals were published for the winning panel.
- The Federation of Western India Cine Employees ordered fresh elections and a court refused to stay the polls, permitting voting and counting to proceed.
- The vote follows an August crisis in which 11 of 21 executive‑committee members resigned, citing alleged autocratic decision‑making and a breakdown in consultative governance.
- A public confrontation at the CINTAA office a day before voting led to Mumbai Police intervention after accusations that office documents were being removed; Poonam Dhillon and Padmini Kolhapure have denied wrongdoing.
- The announced result may still change because multiple legal challenges and related proceedings remain active and could prompt judicial review or administrative scrutiny of membership records.
