Chitrasen Sinku vs Bijay Singh Soy And Ors. on 26 November, 1998
Same principle was laid down in the case of B. Ganganna v. Returning Officer. AIR 1982 Kant 156. However, in that case, Karnataka High Court refused to invoke the provision of Section 151 of the Code on the ground that there was specific provision under Rule 9 Order IX of the Code and that provision not having been resorted to, the inherent power under Section 151 of the Code was not permissible.
