KALAMATA MOHAN RAO vs NARAYANA RAO DHARMANA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the election of the appellant under Section 116A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to corrupt practices as defined in Section 123(3). The Court found that the appellant's campaign materials improperly appealed to voters' religious sentiments by depicting a political leader as an incarnation of God, thereby misleading the electorate. The Court emphasized the importance of fair electoral practices and confirmed the High Court's findings of guilt regarding the corrupt practice alleged in the election petition.
