KARBHARI BHIMAJI ROHAMARE vs SHANKER RAO GENUJI KOLHE & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the membership of the Wage Board does not constitute an office of profit under Articles 102 and 191 of the Constitution. The Court found that the honorarium and allowances received by the first respondent were insufficient to constitute a pecuniary gain, thus not disqualifying him from contesting elections. The judgment distinguished the case of Mahadev v. Shantibhai, affirming that the first respondent's financial situation did not equate to holding an office of profit.
