THAMPANOOR RAVI vs CHARUPARA RAVI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring the appellant's election to the Kerala Legislative Assembly void under Article 191(1)(c) of the Constitution, as he was an undischarged insolvent at the time of his nomination and election. The Court clarified that disqualification under Article 191(1)(c) is applicable when a candidate is unable to pay debts as they become due, which was established through evidence of the appellant's financial liabilities. The Court dismissed the appeal regarding allegations of corrupt practices as the High Court had ruled in favor of the appellant on that issue.
