MATHURA PRASAD vs GOVIND SINGH — C.A. No. 4187/2001

Case Summary: C.A. No. 004187/2001 Mathura Prasad v. Govind Singh The Supreme Court dismissed Mathura Prasad's appeal against an Election Tribunal judgment on September 3, 2002. The Election Petition was dismissed by the Tribunal primarily due to improper verification—defects the petitioner failed to rectify despite being given an opportunity after the respondent raised objections. Although the Tribunal found certain electoral irregularities, it held they did not materially affect the election result under Section 100 of the Representation of the People Act. The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's conclusion on the verification defect as unassailable and declined to address other issues, dismissing the appeal entirely.
