Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's judgment setting aside the election of the appellant under Section 100(1)(b) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to corrupt practices as defined in Sections 123(3) and 123(3A). The Court found that speeches made by the appellant prior to her candidacy could not be attributed to her as corrupt practices. The Court also ruled that the speeches made by the appellant during her campaign were innocuous and did not constitute corrupt practices, affirming the High Court's findings.
