Upon completion of arguments by Modi's counsel Satyapal Jain, Justice Vikram Nath directed petitioner Ajay Rai to reply to the contentions made on behalf of the respondent by the next date of hearing.
During his arguments, which lasted for four days, Jain - a senior Supreme Court lawyer and BJP leader - prayed that the petition be "dismissed in limine, with exemplary costs, without being put on trial".
Jain also claimed that the allegations made by the petitioner were "vague and cryptic" and that during the entire election process, there was no violation by Modi of any provision of Representation of the People Act.
He finished a distant third and ended up losing his deposit.
The high-voltage electoral battle had turned out to be a virtually one-sided affair with Modi defeating his nearest rival, Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party, by a margin of 3.71 lakh votes.
