Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the High Court's decision that set aside the Election Tribunal's order. The appellant contended that valid votes in his favor were improperly rejected while invalid votes for the respondent were counted. The Court emphasized the importance of fair election processes and directed the Election Tribunal to conduct a recount of the votes to ensure justice.
