MOHD. ASLAM BHURE vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32, reiterating that this provision cannot be used to challenge the correctness of a prior decision on merits, specifically referencing Khoday Distilleries Limited & Anr. vs. The Registrar General, Supreme Court of India, 1995 (6) Scale 74. The Court clarified that the decision in S.R. Bommai vs. Union of India did not pertain to the interpretation of sub-sections (3) and (3A) of Section 123 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, and thus was not applicable. The petitioner's concerns were deemed baseless, affirming the correctness of the earlier judgment in Manohar Joshi vs. Nitin Bhaurao Patil and Another, 1996 (1) SCC 169.
