MOHAN RAWALE versus DAMODAR TATYABA@ DADASAHEB AND ORS.
Allegations in the election petition referring to a period prior to nomination cannot amount to corrupt practice, as the legal status of candidate arises only upon nomination. The remaining pleadings, even if weak, disclose a triable issue and are not vague or bereft of material particulars. Non-supply of certain documents does not warrant dismissal as their purport and contents were set out in the petition.
