ZELIA M.XAVIER FERNANDES E.GONSALVES vs JOANA RODRIGUES .

The Supreme Court examined whether the appellant incurred disqualification under Section 10(f) of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 due to her husband's contract with the Village Panchayat. The Court held that the mere relationship of husband and wife does not automatically imply a disqualifying interest as per Section 10(f). The Court ultimately overturned the disqualification order of the Election Commission, ruling in favor of the appellant.
