ARJUN PANDITRAO KHOTKAR vs KAILASH KUSHANRAO GORANTYAL

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, in the context of election petitions challenging the election of Arjun Panditrao Khotkar. The court referred to previous judgments, particularly Anvar P.V. v. P.K. Basheer and Shafhi Mohammad v. State of Himachal Pradesh, to clarify the admissibility of electronic evidence. The court ultimately allowed the appeals and set a precedent for future cases involving electronic records in election disputes.
