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

That is because as held in Mani's case the charge of corrupt practice has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt and not merely by preponderance of probabilities. Allegation of corrupt practice being quasi-criminal in nature, the failure to supply full particulars at the earliest point of time and to disclose the source of information promptly may have an adverse bearing on the probative value to be 784 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.
