Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order allowing inspection of voter registers under Rule 93(1)(dd) of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961. The Court held that the inspection was necessary to substantiate allegations of double voting by the appellant's family members and supporters, which could potentially invalidate the election results. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of transparency in electoral processes.
