Case Summary: W.P.(C) No. 130/2004 - Satya Narayan Prasad v. Election Commission of India Petitioner challenged the Election Commission's allotment of the 'Lotus' symbol to a political party, arguing that Lotus is India's national flower with sacred significance in Indian art, culture, and mythology and should not be used as a party symbol. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition as devoid of merit, finding no statutory restriction against using Lotus as a symbol and noting the symbol had been used by the same political party for over two decades across multiple national and state elections.
