All eyes were set on the updates of high-voltage Nandigram constituency. 17 rounds of counting was to be done before declaring the winner. Mamata Banerjee was trailing in initial rounds. The EC informed that announcement of results for Nandigram would be delayed because of problem in server.<a href="#cite_note-329">[319]</a> In the 16th round, when the counting of votes in Gokulnagar panchayat area started, Mamata fell behind.<a href="#cite_note-330">[320]</a> After the 16th round, the counting of 17th round was delayed by an hour. Postal ballots were being counted at that time. At the end of the seventeenth round, it was announced that Mamata Banerjee had won by a margin of 1,200 (or 3,717) votes.

Since Adhikari was declared winner, TMC workers protested outside the counting centre. Central Forces protected Adhikari's car while before it left the area. TMC workers alleged that the counting was stopped for three hours, the result was overturned after a power outage, and their agent was assaulted and thrown out from the counting centre by central forces.<a href="#cite_note-334">[324]</a> On 14 July, the High Court issued a notice to Adhikari, the ECI, the state electoral officer, and the returning officer with a direction to keep all election-related records intact until the case was heard on 12 August.<a href="#cite_note-335">[325]</a><a href="#cite_note-336">[326]</a> Adhikari went to the Supreme Court seeking transfer of Banerjee's election petition case outside the state.<a href="#cite_note-337">[327]</a> On 12 August, Adhikari's lawyers submitted before the court of Justice Sarkar that the legislator has approached the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the case from West Bengal.
