casestatus.in Summary

Summary: C.A. No. 785/2000 - Bal Mukund Dewangan v. Pratima Chandrakar On 16 August 2001, the Supreme Court dismissed Bal Mukund Dewangan's election appeal challenging his 158-vote loss in Assembly Constituency No. 166, Khertha, Madhya Pradesh. The appellant had contended the election should be voided for alleged violation of Section 57 of the Representation of People Act, 1951 due to non-adjournment of polls. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that since the objectionable person (panchayat secretary) had already left the polling station at 10:00 a.m., the subsequent polling interruption between 11:00 a.m. and 1:35 p.m. did not constitute sufficient cause for adjournment. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
