Chhedi Ram vs Jhilmit Ram & Others on 5 December, 1983
In view of the
earlier decisions of this Court existing before Chhedi Ram case [1984] 2
SCC 281 : AIR (1984) SC 146 was decided, it cannot be held that merely
because the number of wasted votes bears a high degree of proportion to the
margin of votes between the winning candidate and the next highest
candidate, an inference must always be drawn that the result of the
election was materially affected insofar as the returned candidate is
concerned. There must be definite evidence available before the court
enabling an inference being drawn as to how the wasted votes would have
been distributed amongst the contesting candidates. The court cannot
conjecturise or return findings on surmises."
