Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 94 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, regarding the admissibility of witness testimony in election petitions. The Court held that the safety of witnesses is paramount and that the non-disclosure of names due to threats is permissible under the Act. The Court allowed the petitioner to produce witnesses at a later stage, emphasizing the need for a fair trial while balancing the rights of the parties involved in the election dispute.
