In brief
The second respondent filed an election petition under section 100 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 to set aside the appellant's election. At the hearing at Kotah on 11-12-1952 the appellant appeared through counsel, filed a written statement and issues were framed; the case was then adjourned to Udaipur for the petitioner's evidence from 17 to 21 March 1953. Neither the appellant nor any of his three counsel appeared on 17, 18 or 19 March, so the Tribunal proceeded ex parte and recorded the petitioner's witnesses.…
