RAJESHEKAR BASAVARAJ PATIL vs SUBASH KALLUR .

The appellant challenged the election of the returned candidate to the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on the ground of disqualification under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The core legal issue was whether the existence of a government contract for the construction of a canal disqualified the respondent under Section 9A and Section 67A of the Act. The Supreme Court examined the application of Section 100(1)(a) regarding the eligibility of a candidate on the date of election.
