Charan Lal Sahu vs Dr. Apj Abdul Kalam & Ors

The Supreme Court dismissed the election petition challenging the election of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam as President of India, citing the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952 and the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Election Rules, 1974. The Court held that the petitioner, an advocate, had previously been cautioned against frivolous challenges and that his nomination was rightly rejected due to non-compliance with legal requirements. The Court affirmed the validity of the election process and the election result, upholding the High Court's dismissal of the petitioner's writ petition under Articles 14, 21, and others of the Constitution of India.
