Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's conclusion regarding the timing of the poster's printing was erroneous, as evidence confirmed it was printed before the election, implicating the first respondent under Sections 123(3) and (3A) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court found that the poster was distributed at the first respondent's behest, and the High Court's dismissal of the petition was not supported by the evidence. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's decision.
