Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's dismissal of an election petition, affirming that findings of fact by the High Court should not be interfered with unless vitiated by glaring infirmity. The Court ruled that failure to maintain election expense accounts in the prescribed manner does not constitute a corrupt practice under the Representation of the People Act. The evidence presented by the appellant was found insufficient to challenge the respondent's declared expenses, and the High Court's acceptance of the respondent's evidence was deemed plausible.
