Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an election petition under the Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically citing Sections 123(1)(A), (B), (2), (6), and (7). The Court held that the allegations of corrupt practices made by the Respondent were insufficiently detailed, failing to meet the requirements of Section 81(3)(a) and (b) of the Act. Consequently, the Court upheld the rejection of the election petition, affirming the election of the Appellant, Ishwardas Rohani.
