Showing contexts for: define election in V.S. Achuthanandhan vs P.J. Francis And Anr on 22 March, 1999Matching Fragments
It may be observed that in this cited case the court was considering article 329 (b) of the Constitution of India. But, in our view, what has been stated in that case with regard to the wide meaning of the term "election" may be also applied to an election contemplated under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Section 2(i)(d) of the Act defines election as "an election to fill a seat or seats in inter alia either House or the Legislature of a State,"
We may also on this point refer to two Supreme Court rulings-N.P. Pommuswami V. Returning Officer, Namkkal and Hari Vishnu Kamath v. Ahmad Ishaque and others, on which the aforesaid Bombay ruling is based."
