K. M. Mani Etc vs P. J. Antony And Others on 12 September, 1978

attached to the evidence tendered in proof thereof at the
trial. Therefore, even though ordinarily a defective
verification can be cured and the failure to disclose the
grounds or sources of information may not be fatal, failure
to place them on record with promptitude may lead the court
in a given case to doubt the veracity of the evidence
ultimately tendered. If, however, the affidavit or the
schedule or annexure forms an integral part of the election
petition itself, strict compliance would be insisted upon.
