Ram Niwas vs State Of Rajasthan And Anr. on 17 January, 2005
13. The argument of learned Counsel for the petitioner ignored the fact that with the death of petitioner's wife, the relationship of father and son/daughter has not come to end or served, which happens on giving a child in adoption to other. If the argument of the learned Counsel for the petitioner that number of children of existing couple only can be taken in account in accepted than it will mean that a person, who was not qualified to contest the election because of his having more than two children, with the death of his wife or on divorce to his wife that person will again become qualified candidate to contest the election. Such an interpretation of either Clause (1) of Section 19 or Proviso (iv) or the Explanation to Section 19 will be against the legislative intention. Therefore, the analogy, which was applied in the case of Rajendra Kumar (supra), has no application to the facts of this case.
