C/SCA/3402/2021 CAV JUDGMENT
this Court referred to and relied upon a decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Prahladdas Khandelwal vs. Narendra
Kumar Salave, (1973)2 SCC 104, and held that except for the
defects which are permitted to be removed or rectified under the
Act and the Rules, the Returning Officer is not empowered to
either get the defect rectified or ignore them. We quote the
relevant observations thus:

46. As regards the scope of rule 15 of the Rules 1994, we may
refer to and rely upon the following observations made by this
Court in the case of Jayaben Vijaybhai Vasoya (supra) :
Rakesh Kumar vs Sunil Kumar on 9 February, 1999
52. It has further been provided in the case of Rakesh Kumar
(supra) that the Returning Officer appears to have been
labouring under some misconception when he recorded that the
political party "cannot be given further time to change such
authorisation after scrutiny". Under the proviso to Section 36(5)
of the Act, the scrutiny itself would have been postponed to the
adjourned time and, therefore, it was not a case of meeting the
objection after scrutiny of the nomination papers. The Returning
Officer is not expected to reject a nomination paper without
giving an opportunity to the candidate or his representative
present at the time of scrutiny to meet an objection capable of
being met, particularly where such an opportunity is sought for
by the candidate or his representative.
