Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the election of the appellant to the No.81 Deosar Constituency, finding that the appellant failed to comply with Sections 33(5) and 36(2)(b) of the Representation of People Act, 1951, by not submitting the required electoral roll. The Court affirmed that the acceptance of the appellant's nomination was illegal, leading to the conclusion that the election was void under Section 100(1)(a) and Section 100(1)(d)(i) of the 1951 Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the High Court's ruling.
