Summary of N.S. Nandiesha Reddy v. Kavitha Mahesh (C.A. No. 4821/2012) The Supreme Court allowed the appeal challenging the High Court's direction to prosecute the Returning Officer for perjury. While affirming that the officer improperly rejected the election petitioner's nomination papers, the Court found no intentional falsehood in his testimony and ruled that prosecution was neither justified nor expedient, as mere contradictory statements without deliberate falsity cannot justify perjury charges.
