Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the election petition filed by Jagjit Singh challenging the results of the Haryana Legislative Assembly election under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically citing Section 83 regarding the requirement for a concise statement of material facts. The Court held that the election petition did not disclose a valid cause of action due to non-compliance with the statutory requirements, affirming the lower court's dismissal of the petition. The ruling emphasized that the absence of a material effect on the election result was a critical factor in upholding the election outcome.
