RAM SINGH & ORS. vs COL. RAM SLNGH

The Supreme Court held that the appellants failed to prove that the respondent engaged in corrupt practices under Section 100 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court emphasized that clear and specific allegations regarding corrupt practices must be made in the election petition, and the presence of the candidate at the time of the alleged incidents must be established. The Court reiterated that corrupt practices must be committed by the candidate or with their consent, and mere allegations without convincing evidence are insufficient to void an election.
