Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the appellant's election to the legislative assembly, which was challenged under Section 100(1)(d)(i) and (iv) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Court held that the appellant's failure to disclose significant financial information in his nomination form constituted non-compliance with the Act, rendering his nomination invalid. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the appellant's election, affirming the necessity for full disclosure in electoral nominations.
