Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in Civil Appeal No. 702 of 1993, addressed the validity of the election of Shri Bansi Singh under Section 81 of the Representation of People Act, 1951. The Court found significant irregularities in the counting process, including restricted access for counting agents and the presence of individuals with ties to the elected candidate in roles that compromised the integrity of the election. Consequently, the Court declared the election void and ordered that the appellant, Ajit Singh, be declared elected from Ateli Constituency No. 89.
