CHATTURBHUJ VITHALDAS JASANI vs MORESHWAR PARASHRAM AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 7(d) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, a candidate is disqualified from being elected to Parliament if they have a share or interest in a contract with the government on crucial dates. The Court clarified that contracts for the supply of goods do not terminate upon delivery but continue until fully discharged, referencing Article 299(1) of the Constitution and Section 230(3) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court upheld the disqualification of the candidate due to their partnership in the firm with ongoing contracts with the Central Government.
