RAMCHANDRA G. KAPSE vs HARIBANSH RAMAKBAL SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision declaring the election of Prof. Ramchandra G. Kapse void under Section 100(1)(b) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to corrupt practices established under Sections 123(3) and 123(3A). The Court found that speeches made by Sadhvi Reethambara and Pramod Mahajan, which were made in the presence of Prof. Kapse, constituted corrupt practices, thereby implicating him under Section 99 of the Act. The appeals by Kapse, Mahajan, and Reethambara were dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
