Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the certified copy of the check memo is admissible in evidence under Section 74 of the Evidence Act, as it constitutes a public document. The Court clarified that under Section 77 of the Evidence Act, certified copies can be used to prove the contents of the original documents. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the election results despite the appellant's objections regarding the admissibility of the check memo.
