RAJENDRA KUMAR MESHRAM vs VANSHMANI PRASAD VERMA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the election of the appellant under Section 100(1)(a) and Section 100(1)(d)(i) of the Representation of People Act, 1951, due to the appellant's failure to submit a certified copy of the electoral roll as required by Sections 33(5) and 36(2)(b). The Court found that the returning officer's acceptance of the nomination was illegal, thus rendering the election void. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
