Dr. Sujay Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil Vs. Nilesh Dnyandev Lanke
As per case facts, an election petition was filed alleging corrupt practices, exceeding election expenses, and bogus voting by the returned candidate. The respondent, who was the returned candidate, filed
...an application seeking dismissal of the election petition. The question arose whether the election petition disclosed a cause of action, contained sufficient particulars, was filed within limitation, had proper affidavits, and whether the alleged corrupt practices were adequately pleaded. Finally, the Court found the allegations vague and non-specific, lacking material particulars for corrupt practices and insufficient details regarding the impact of alleged bogus voting. The affidavit was not in proper form. Given these defects, the Court concluded that no cause of action was disclosed, leading to the dismissal of the election petition.
