Judgment text excerpt

This appeal under Section 116A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, challenges a High Court judgment dismissing an election petition. The appellants alleged that malpractices occurred during the counting of votes, specifically citing the unauthorized shifting of ballot boxes from the designated school to a recreation hall. The legal issue centers on whether these alleged irregularities constitute 'malpractices' under Section 100(1)(d)(iii) of the Act sufficient to void the election result.
