The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the election petition challenging the election of respondents as Members of the Rajya Sabha, affirming the procedures followed under The Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court clarified that the election process was valid as all candidates were duly nominated and the voting was conducted in accordance with the prescribed rules. The Court held that the appellant did not secure the requisite number of votes to be declared elected, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
