Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of an election petition challenging the election of Respondent No. 1 under Section 77 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court reiterated that it does not typically interfere with the High Court's evaluation of evidence unless there is a glaring infirmity, which was not demonstrated in this case. The Court found the evidence presented by the appellant insufficient to prove that the respondent incurred excess election expenses, affirming the High Court's findings.
