Induce
Induce, The dictionary meaning of the word 'induce' is to 'prevail on, persuade'. The gratifi-cation must have some connection or reflection, direct or indirect, in persuading the voter to vote or refrain from voting at an election. If the inducement to the voter is not caused by the pay-ment of the gratification to a third person but by the persuasion or influence (not undue influence) of such third person it will not be possible to say that the gratification had any indirect inducement to the voter. Payment of any gratification to any person to work or canvass at an election is outside the ambit of the definition. It will make little difference if the worker or the canvasser on payment of gratification promises or indulges in tall-talk of securing or procuring some votes for a particular candidate, Kalya Singh v. Genda Lal,AIR 1975 SC 1634: (1976) 1 SCC 304: (1975) 3SCR 783. [Representation of the People Act, 1951,s. 123(1)(a)]...

Burden of proof
Burden of proof [onus probandi, Lat.]. the most prominent canon of evidence is, that the point in issue is to be proved by the party who asserts the affirmative, according to the civil law maxims, Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, nonqui negat; Actori incumbit onus probandi; and Affirmanti non neganti incumbit probatio. The burden of proof lies on the person who has to support his case by proof of a fact which is peculiarly within his own knowledge, or of which he is supposed to be cognizant. See Best on Evidence, Bk. III., Pt. 1, ch. 2.The expression 'burden of proof' really means two different things. It means sometimes that a party is required to prove an allegation before judgment can be given in its favour; it also means that on a contested issue one of the two contending parties has to introduce evidence, Narayan Bhagwantrao Gosavi v.
