Fulena Singh vs Vijay Kumar Sinha & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order allowing inspection of registers under Rule 93(1)(dd) of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, in an election petition challenging the appellant's election on grounds of alleged double voting by family members and supporters. The Court emphasized that such inspection is essential for substantiating claims of electoral irregularities, particularly when the integrity of the election process is in question. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to permit the inspection as a necessary step in the electoral dispute resolution process.
