Karikho Kri vs Nuney Tayang

The Supreme Court addressed appeals under Section 116A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, concerning the election of Karikho Kri, which was declared void by the High Court under Sections 100(1)(b), 100(1)(d)(i), and 100(1)(d)(iv) of the Act. The Court stayed the High Court's judgment, allowing Kri to contest in the upcoming elections while restricting his voting rights pending the appeal's resolution. The Court emphasized the need for a prima facie case for granting such relief during the pendency of the appeal.
