SAHODRABAIRAI vs RAM SINGH AHARWAR

The Supreme Court held that under Section 81(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, the election petition itself, which included a translated pamphlet, sufficed for service requirements. The Court clarified that Section 83(2) pertains to averments in annexures, not to documents merely serving as evidence. Therefore, the High Court's dismissal of the election petition for lack of a copy of the pamphlet was erroneous, and the appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order.
