A similar appeal to vote was also distributed door to door by the respondent and his allies through pamphlets containing a photograph of Lord Sabarimala Ayyappa along with their election symbol. Another allegation in the election petition is that during the respondent's election campaign, claimed that the petitioner was not true to his Hindu religion and stood against the beliefs regarding Lord Sabarimala Ayyappa. The petitioner approached the High Court praying for an order setting aside the said election on the ground that he indulged in corrupt practices by interfering with free exercise of electoral rights of the devotees of Lord Sabarimala Ayyappa.
