F.A. SAPA ETC. ETC. vs SINGORA AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of election petitions under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically Sections 80, 81, and 83, ruling that election petitions must comply with statutory requirements including proper attestation and verification. The Court held that the High Court's rejection of preliminary objections regarding the petitions' conformity was erroneous, emphasizing the necessity of adherence to procedural rules as outlined in the Act and the accompanying Rules. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeals, reinforcing the importance of strict compliance with electoral laws.
