The High Court held that the respondent had failed to prove the first five
items. As regards the expenses for the erection of rostrums for the public
meetings addressed by the appellant on February 1 and 25, 1971, the High
Court found that four meetings were addressed by the appellant in the
constituency on February 1 and six meetings on February 25, 1971. The cost
of a rostrum in each meeting came to Rs. 1,600. The total expenses of the ten
rostrums thus came to Rs. 16,000 and the same, it was held, was liable to be
added to the amount shown in the return of election expenses of the
appellant. The amount of Rs. 16,000 included the money paid by the District
Congress Committee as its share of the cost of rostrums. Regarding the
expenses of loudspeakers, the High Court found that the total expenses of
Rs. 800 had been incurred on the installation of loudspeakers in the meetings
addressed by the appellant on February 1 and 25, 1971. In addition to that,
the High Court added Rs. 1.151 as cost of energy supplied for the functioning
of the loudspeakers. The total amount which was added to the election
expenses of the appellant on account of the loudspeakers thus came to Rs.
1,951. An amount of Rs. 232.50 was found by the High Court to have been
incurred by the appellant for her transport on February 1 and 25, 1971.
