Sultan Sadik vs Sanjay Raj Subba And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the disqualification of a candidate under Section 100(1) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, due to holding a post of profit as an Assistant Teacher in a school. The Court examined the implications of the Assam Elementary Education (Provincialisation) Act, 1974, and its provisions regarding the provincialisation of services, concluding that the appellant's position did not disqualify him as he was not receiving remuneration. The election petition was dismissed, affirming the appellant's election.
