Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of the nomination paper of Shri Chandra Narayan Tripathi under Section 33 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to a defect in the number of proposers required for an unrecognized political party. The Court found that the second proposer was not a valid voter, which rendered the nomination invalid. Consequently, the election of Shri Kapil Muni Karwaria was affirmed, and the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's decision was dismissed.
