SITARAM vs RADHEY SHYAM VISHNAV

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the election petition by the Rajasthan High Court, affirming the Election Tribunal's decision that the petition was not compliant with Rule 3(d) of the Rajasthan Municipalities Election Petition Rules, 2009, which mandates the filing of a treasury challan of Rs. 1,000. The Court emphasized that non-compliance with mandatory procedural requirements justifies rejection under Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the necessity of adhering to election petition rules.
