Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the appellant's application to summon documents related to tendered votes, citing that the evidence was not permissible as it was not in issue and was filed after the framing of issues. The Court emphasized that under Section 100(1)(d)(iii) and Section 100(1)(d)(iv) of the Representation of People Act, 1951, the election petition must clearly outline the issues for evidence to be admissible. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, maintaining the election results in favor of the appellant.
