Explanation

Election Petition is the specific constitutional remedy for challenging election results to Parliament or State Legislatures. Under Article 329(b), such election petitions can only be filed in the manner prescribed by the appropriate legislature, and courts cannot intervene otherwise. Election petitions are heard by High Courts (for Parliament/State Legislatures) and must be filed within a specified period after the election.
