STATE OF HARYANA vs VIKRAM SINGH

The case involves an appeal under Section 116A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, challenging a High Court order that declared the appellant's election as Member of Legislative Assembly void. The core legal issue concerns whether a candidate was disqualified from contesting elections due to holding an 'office of profit' under the Government of India, specifically as an employee of Coal India Ltd. The court examines the disqualification criteria under Article 191 of the Constitution of India and Section 10 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
