KRIPA SHANKAR CHATTERJI vs GURUDAS CHATTERJEE & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's dismissal of the election petition challenging the results of the Nirsa Assembly Constituency election under the Representation of People Act, 1951. The Court found no merit in the claims regarding the improper rejection of a nomination paper, acceptance of non-voter nominations, disqualification of candidates as public servants under Section 21 IPC, and irregularities in ballot counting. The Court affirmed that the High Court's findings were supported by the absence of evidence from the election petitioner.
