BRIJ MOHAN vs MANGE RAM & ORS.

The Supreme Court examined allegations of corrupt practice under Section 123(1) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, concerning a donation made by the appellant to a temple to induce voters. The Court found the evidence presented by the respondents to be unreliable and inconsistent, particularly noting discrepancies in witness testimonies regarding the timing and nature of the alleged bribery. Consequently, the Court held that the corrupt practice was not proven, overturning the High Court's decision that had set aside the appellant's election.
