STATE OF W.BENGAL vs PRONAB K. SUR

The court examines the extent of a voter's right to information regarding candidates contesting elections to Parliament or State Legislatures under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. The judgment addresses the constitutionality of Section 33(B) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, concluding that it fails the test of constitutionality. It reinforces the principle that the right to vote includes the right to know the background of candidates to ensure an informed democratic process.
