TEJ BAHADUR vs SHRI NARENDRA MODI

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of an election petition challenging the election of Shri Narendra Modi to the Lok Sabha, ruling that the appellant lacked locus standi as he was not an elector in the constituency. The court affirmed the Allahabad High Court's decision which found that the petition did not disclose a valid cause of action and that the appellant's nomination was properly rejected. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the importance of electoral standing in election disputes.
