The Supreme Court referred the interpretation of Section 123(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 to a larger bench, highlighting the need for clarity on what constitutes a corrupt practice in elections. The Court noted inconsistencies arising from the 1961 amendment, which altered the definition of corrupt practices, and emphasized the importance of authoritative guidance to prevent miscarriages of justice. The decision aims to resolve conflicting interpretations from previous cases, including Abhiram Singh v. C.D. Commachen and Narayan Singh v. Sunderlal Patwa.
