AVTAR SINGH BRAR vs TAJ SINGH & OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that Tej Singh engaged in corrupt practices during the Punjab Legislative Assembly elections by circulating misleading pamphlets claiming that a rival candidate had withdrawn, thereby influencing voter perception. The Court found sufficient evidence to prove the allegations of corrupt practices under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically Section 123(4). Consequently, the election result was set aside, and the appeal by Avtar Singh was allowed, declaring him as the duly elected candidate.
