To my knowledge, there is no Section called 49-O in the Indian Constitution, saying that "as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn%uFFFDt want to vote anyone!"
The Section 49 of Constitution is on "Protection of monuments and places and objects of national importance" and has nothing to do with elections.
The Election-related Articles (324 to 329) have nothing along these lines. So, this is obviously another e-mail hoax, though I personally feel there should a provision like this in the Constitution keeping in mind the dubious nature of many people contesting elections these days.
