Ravinder Singh vs Janmeja Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order rejecting the election petition filed under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court found that the petition lacked necessary averments regarding the publication of false statements by the returned candidate, as required under Section 123(4) of the Act. The Court held that without specific allegations of corrupt practices as defined in the statute, the election petition could not be sustained, thereby upholding the election of the returned candidate.
