Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the validity of Sections 5B and 5C of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952, as amended by the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections [Amendment] Ordinance, 1997. The Court upheld the precedent set in Charan Lal Sahu vs. Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, 1978, and found no merit in the petitioner's request for reconsideration of that decision. The petitioner's application for exemption from court fee was allowed.
