KALYAN KUMAR GOGOI vs ASHUTOSH AGNIHOTRI

The Supreme Court, while adjudicating an appeal under Section 116A of the Representation of People Act, 1951, upheld the decision of the Gauhati High Court which rejected the appellant's plea to declare the election of the respondent No. 2 void due to irregularities at Polling Station No. 124. The Court established that the failure to conduct polling at the notified station did not materially affect the election outcome, as the overall voting percentage remained high. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the election results in favor of the respondent.
