ANVAR P.V. vs P.K.BASHEER .

The Supreme Court addressed the admissibility of electronic records in election petitions under The Representation of the People Act, 1951, specifically Sections 100(1)(b) and 123(4). The Court emphasized that evidence must be relevant and admissible, and the genuineness of evidence is assessed post-admissibility. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's decision that dismissed the election petition on maintainability grounds, thereby allowing the appellant to contest the election results based on alleged corrupt practices.
