BACHAN SINGH vs PRITHVI SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the respondent did not commit a corrupt practice under Section 123(7) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, as a member of the armed forces acting as a polling agent does not constitute assistance in furthering a candidate's election prospects. Additionally, the publication of posters featuring the Prime Minister and military leaders was deemed improper but not corrupt, as it did not amount to undue influence under Section 123(2). The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
