Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring the election of the Appellant to the Manipur Legislative Assembly void, citing Section 125-A and 127 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court found that the Appellant had made a false declaration regarding his educational qualifications, which constituted a ground for disqualification under the Act. The Court emphasized the importance of truthful disclosures in election affidavits, affirming that the integrity of the electoral process must be maintained.
