Karim Uddin Barbhuiya vs Aminul Haque Laskar

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the Election Petition under Section 100(1)(b) and Section 100(1)(d)(i) of The Representation of the People’s Act, 1951, affirming that the allegations made by the respondent lacked material facts and did not disclose a complete cause of action as required under Section 83(1)(a) and Section 81(1)(b). The Court emphasized that mere bald allegations without supporting documents do not constitute a triable issue. Consequently, the appeal against the Gauhati High Court's order was dismissed, maintaining the election results in favor of the appellant.
