Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the election petition challenging the election of Mulayam Singh Yadav under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically referencing Section 101(b) regarding corrupt practices. The Court held that Schedule 14, which included video evidence of alleged booth capturing and violence, was improperly verified and thus could not be considered valid evidence in support of the election petition. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the election result in favor of the appellant.
