R P MOIDUTTY vs P T KUNJU MOHD.

The Supreme Court, in this case, addressed an appeal under Section 116A of The Representation of the People Act, 1951, concerning allegations of corrupt practices during the election for the Guruvayur Legislative Assembly. The appellant claimed that the election result was materially affected by the respondent's use of a video cassette, 'VICHARANA', which was deemed inflammatory and objectionable, violating Sub Sections (3) and (3A) of Section 123 of the Act. The Court upheld the election result, finding insufficient evidence to substantiate the claims of corrupt practices, thereby dismissing the appeal.
