Ishwardas Rohani vs Alok Mishra & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an election petition filed under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically citing Sub-Sections (1)(A) and (B), (2), (6), and (7) of Section 123. The Court held that vague allegations of corrupt practices without material facts do not suffice to maintain an election petition, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with Section 81(3)(a) and (b) for establishing a cause of action. Consequently, the Court upheld the rejection of the election petition filed by the Respondent, affirming the election of the Appellant.
