Please let me know.

The answer is a big fat YES", Petition is liable to be rejected, there are numerous judgments.

Thanks N.K.Assumi, please post me the Judgments in my mail.

Rajesh Singh, she said as per the Act, means the petition under which affidavit was to be filed was specified eg, by JMFC/MM/or Notary or commissioner of Affidavit/Oath commissioner, but oath administered by other authority. 

Rajesh Singh, it is election petition, which under the act and rules specified the competent authority for attesting affidavit, but it was attested by other authority not mentioned in the acts and rules.

 

Thanks indeed Assumi N.K., I got the judgments of those High Courts and the Supreme court judgment of 2013.My gratitude in your gmail.

Shekar Singh Sir, in her case, the principles of law is: when the edict of laws says that a particular act must be done in a particular manner, it should be done in that particular manner and no other act. Administering oath in affidavit without authority of law, the affidavit remains a mere piece of paper.

I agree with Shri N. K. Assumi.      I think the Affidavit is rejected, not the Petition.      I solicit genuine refutals so that I can improve my knowledge.
