REKHA RANA vs JAI PAL SHARMA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's interlocutory order allowing the election petitioner to open sealed marked electoral rolls for evidence in an election petition under the Representation of Peoples Act, 1951. The Court noted that the election petitioner had provided detailed allegations of impersonation and irregularities in voting, which warranted examination of the electoral rolls. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was consistent with the pleadings and did not constitute a roving inquiry, thereby affirming the High Court's decision to facilitate the election petitioner's case.
