Election Commission Of India vs Bajrang Bahadur Singh And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the disqualification of a legislator under Section 9A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, following a declaration by the Governor under Article 192 of the Constitution. The Court held that the disqualification operates only at the threshold for contesting elections and does not apply retroactively to disqualify an elected member for contracts entered into post-election. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the Election Commission, allowing the election process to proceed despite the petitioner's claims.
