https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=301641 An election petition alleging corrupt practice must strictly plead the complete material facts constituting the cause of action, not merely broad allegations, and must be supported by a valid verification and affidavit identifying which statements are based on personal knowledge and which on information. Vague pleadings that omit essential facts on gratification, undue influence, consent, or material effect on the result are insufficient. Where these statutory requirements are not met, the petition is liable to rejection at the threshold and the court need not proceed to trial on an inherently defective pleading. en-us Wed, 19 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 11:53:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=301641 An election petition alleging corrupt practice must strictly plead the complete material facts constituting the cause of action, not merely broad allegations, and must be supported by a valid verification and affidavit identifying which statements are based on personal knowledge and which on information.
