Aad Lal vs Kanshi Ram on 20 December, 1979

In support of this contention, learned Counsel cited Aad Lal v. Kanshi Ram, A.I.R. 1980 S.C. 1358. It was further submitted that the Election Commission had provided a certificate for receipt of form of oath to be given to the candidate concerned to substantiate that the candidate had been administered oath to avoid any controversy later on as to whether the candidate had taken the oath or not. The counsel referred to paragraphs 23.4 and 23.5 of the Hand Book for the Returning Officers issued by the Election Commission of India which have already been reproduced above. It was argued that in the written-statement, respondent Jai Singh had specifically mentioned that the Returning Officer had issued him the receipt in which the words "SATYANISHTHAPURVAK PRATIGYAN KARTA HUN" had been deleted but the same had not been produced. The best evidence having been kept back the inference should be drawn against the respondent that if the document had been produced that would have gone against him.
