Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the election of Mohd. Abdullah Azam Khan from the 34, Suar Assembly Constituency, which was declared void by the Allahabad High Court due to the appellant's alleged ineligibility under Article 173(b) of the Constitution. The court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of age qualifications for candidates in elections. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
