Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Haryana Legislative Assembly election held in June 1987, under Sections 80 to 84 and 100 of the Representation of People Act, 1951. The Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision that declared the election of the appellant, Shri Dharamvir, void due to corrupt practices as defined in Section 123(2) of the Act, and imposed a six-year disqualification on him from contesting elections. The judgment reinforced the importance of adhering to electoral integrity and the consequences of corrupt practices in elections.
