SRI MAIREMBAM PRITHVIRAJ @ PRITHIBIRAJ SINGH vs SHRI PUKHREM SHARATCHANDRA SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring the election of the Appellant void under Section 125-A and 127 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to the improper acceptance of his nomination based on a false declaration regarding his educational qualifications. The Court found that the Appellant failed to substantiate his claim of having an MBA from Mysore University, which was deemed a significant factor affecting the election outcome. Consequently, the Appellant's election was annulled, and the Respondent was declared duly elected.
