The statutory scheme distinguished mandatory non-compliance under sections 81, 83 and 117 from section 82, and the trial of election petitions was to proceed, as nearly as may be, under the Code of Civil Procedure. On that basis, section 82 was treated as directory in this context, and the tribunal could apply the procedural rules, including Order I principles, to permit impleadment and continue with the petition. en-us Wed, 20 Jan 1954 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 16:40:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168410 Omission to implead a duly nominated candidate in an election petition under section 82 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 was treated as non-fatal where no express dismissal consequence was attached to that defect.
