Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the election petition challenging the appellant's election under Section 100(1) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, on the grounds of disqualification due to holding a post of profit as an Assistant Teacher. The Court clarified that the appellant's position did not constitute a disqualification as he was not receiving remuneration for the role. Consequently, the Court upheld the election of the appellant, ruling that the election petition was without merit.
