Neena Vikram Verma vs Balmukund Singh Gautam And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order allowing the first respondent's application under Order 6 Rule 16 of the CPC to strike off certain pleadings from the Recrimination Petition filed by the appellant. The Court held that the High Court's decision to allow the striking off was erroneous as it impeded the appellant's right to present her case under Section 97 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, restoring the Recrimination Petition in its entirety.
