N.P. Ponnuswami vs Returning Officer, Namakkal ... on 21 January, 1952

In the case of N.P. Ponnuswami v. The Returning Officer, Namakkal Constituency, Namakkal, Salem Dist., and Others [ AIR 1952 SC 64], the Constitutional Bench of the Apex Court dealt with the scope and ambit of the bar contained in Article 329 (b) of the Constitution of India. While interpreting the words "election" as used in Part XV of the Constitution of India, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has opined that, "the word "election" has been used in the wide sense, that is to say, to connote the entire procedure to be gone through to return a candidate to the legislature. Therefore, the word "election" used in Article 329 (b) may be taken to embrace the whole procedure which consists of several stages and embraces many steps, whereby an "elected member" is returned." Hence, the word "election" has not been used in a narrow sense.
