As per case facts, an Election Petition was filed challenging the election of a candidate on grounds of improper acceptance of nomination due to alleged non-disclosure or incomplete information regarding
...criminal cases, government dues, and share details in the affidavit. The petitioner claimed this constituted corrupt practice of undue influence and materially affected the election outcome. The question arose whether the Election Petition disclosed a complete cause of action and met the strict pleading requirements for corrupt practices under the R.P. Act, especially regarding the material effect on the election result due to improper acceptance of nomination. Finally, the High Court found that the Election Petition lacked specific material facts to substantiate the allegations of corrupt practice and failed to demonstrate how the alleged improper acceptance of nomination materially affected the election result, which is mandatory under the R.P. Act. Thus, the petition did not disclose a complete cause of action and was dismissed under Order VII, Rule 11(a) of CPC.
