Judgment text as reported

ABDUL RAZZAQ VS CHIEF ELECTION COMMISSION. S. 83---Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908 ), S. 139---Local bodies elections---Election petition---Verification---Argument of the appellant was that a separate affidavit duly attested by the Oath Commissioner had been filed, hence, substantial compliance had been made---Validity---Although the election petition was verified, it was signed by the counsel, not the petitioner---Moreover, the verification was not made on oath and lacked attestation by any of the authorities specified under S. 139, C.P.C.---Thus, the argument of appellant was misconceived---The principles governing the mandatory provisions of S.83 of the Elections Act, 2020, leave no room for deviation---Non-compliance with the provision(s) renders an election petition legally untenable---Supreme Court maintained the Election Tribunal's decisions to dismiss the election petition---Appeals was dismissed.
