Section 100(2) in The Representation of the People Act, 1951
(2)If in the opinion of the High Court, a returned candidate has been guilty by an agent other than his election agent, of any corrupt practice but the High Court is satisfied—(a)that no such corrupt practice was committed at the election by the candidate or his election agent, and every such corrupt practice was committed contrary to the orders, and 8without the consent, of the candidate or his election agent;(c)that the candidate and his election agent took all reasonable means for preventing the commission of corrupt practices at the election; and(d)that in all other respects the election was free from any corrupt practice on the part of the candidate or any of his agents, then the High Court may decide that the election of the returned candidate is not void.
