A. MADAN MOHAN vs KALAVAKUNTA CHANDRASEKHARA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the petitioner's application to dismiss the election petition in limine under Section 86 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court found that the election petition was accompanied by the requisite number of copies and was duly verified, satisfying the conditions of Section 81(3). The Court emphasized that the absence of schedules in the copy served to the petitioner did not constitute a breach of mandatory provisions, as the essential requirements of the Act were met.
