By-elections

In September 1953 a by-election was held for the Bhinai seat.

However, the election in Bhinai was declared void as nomination papers had been improperly rejected and a by-election was called. Three candidates contested the by-election; Kalyan Singh of BJS, Chiman Singh of INC and independent candidate Misri Lal Chitlangia. Kalyan Singh retained the seat with 3,662 votes. The Congress candidate got 1,635 votes and Chitalngia got 310 votes.
