The Court held that Article VII(3) of the Letters Patent expressly permits laws conferring an additional vote on persons of a particular description; therefore conferring a second vote via functional constituencies does not, by that fact alone, violate Article 21 of the Bill of Rights or Article VII(5); disparities in constituency sizes were not shown to be irrational or disproportionate under the applicable test; the appeal was dismissed.
