The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gauhati High Court which set aside the election of N.C. Zeliang under Section 123(6) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to the appellant's violation of Section 77 by incurring election expenses exceeding the permissible limit. The Court found that the High Court's acceptance of the election petition was justified based on the evidence presented regarding corrupt practices. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
