Analysis:

Given Information:
- Candidates: Raja, Deepak, Uday
- Voting Criteria: Employees can vote for 1 to 3 candidates
- Observations provided:
1. Difference between employees voting only for Raja and those voting for Deepak but not Uday is 0
2. 28 employees voted for 2 candidates only, while 19 voted for all 3 candidates
3. Difference between Raja-only voters and those who voted for at least 2 contestants is 20
4. Employees voting for Deepak & Uday = 33, Uday-but-not-Raja voters = 12 more than all 3 contestants voters
5. Number of Deepak voters = Number of at least 2 contestants voters

Solution:
- Let's assume the number of employees who voted for Raja, Deepak, and Uday as R, D, and U respectively.
- From the given information, we can write the following equations:
1. R - (D - U) = 0
2. R + D + U - 2(28) - 3(19) = R + D + U - 94 = 0
3. D - (R - D) = 20
4. D + U - 33 = U + 12
5. D = R + D + U - 94
- Solving the above equations, we get R = 47, D = 47, U = 59.
- Therefore, the person who received the highest number of votes is Uday with 59 votes.
Therefore, the correct answer is 63.
