It was found that he made attempts to mislead the Court by giving an address from Delhi, but had stated that he belonged to Uttar Pradesh. Another attempt to mislead the Court was flagged when he claimed to be illiterate.
“He claimed that he had been certified to be an illiterate person by the Election Commission of India, a fact which was belied on the face of it from the conduct and presentation of the case by the petitioner. He was arguing his case in English. He was carrying copy of the Constitution of India and could read the same very well,” it was observed.
