Judgment text excerpt

The case concerns the disqualification of an elected member of the Legislative Assembly under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The primary legal issue is whether a person is disqualified if the total aggregate sentence for multiple convictions exceeds two years, even if each individual sentence is less than two years. The matter has been referred to a Constitution Bench for a definitive determination on the interpretation of the disqualification criteria.
