CHARAN LAL SAHU vs NEELAM SANJEEVA REDDY

The Supreme Court held that the provisions of Sections 5B and 5C of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952, which require candidates to have ten proposers and ten seconders, do not conflict with Article 58 of the Constitution, as Article 58 only outlines eligibility criteria. The Court found that these provisions are reasonable and apply uniformly to all candidates, thus not violating Article 14. The petition challenging the election was dismissed, affirming the validity of the election process under the Act.
