Shibu Soren ... Appellant vs Dayanand Sahay & Ors. ... Respondents on 19 July, 2001

In the case of Shibu Sorein Vs. Dayanand Sahay and Ors. (supra), it was a case of disqualification on holding of an office of profit. The Hon'ble apex Court held that the allegation was that the elected candidate was holding the post of Chairman of the Interim Jharkhand Area Autonomous Council (for short 'JAAC'), set up under the Jharkhand Area Autonomous Council Act, 1994 (hereinafter the JAAC Act). The post enjoyed the status of a Minister while functioning as Chairman of the Interim Council. The Hon'ble Court considered Article 102(1)(a) corresponding to Article 191(1)(a) of the Constitution of India. The Hon'ble Court held that mere holding of an office is not material. What ( 37 ) EP-03-2025 is material is holding an office of profit under the Government, other than an office declared by the competent legislature by law not to disqualify its holder. It is further considered that the pecuniary gain is not a relevant factor in such cases. The Court further considered the provision of the JAAC Act, the power and functions etc. and held that the said office was an office of profit which is not exempted under the Parliament (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1959, and therefore the disqualification contained under Article 102(1)(a) was squarely attracted.

The Returning Officer directed the candidate ( 43 ) EP-03-2025 to furnish proof of his educational qualifications. However, the declaration was given in Form 26 without producing any supporting documents and the Returning Officer accepted the said nomination. It is thereafter the said candidate came to be elected. The election was challenged under Section 125(1) and 127 of the Act. The allegation was also of corrupt practices. The defeated candidate filed election petition seeking declaration that the election of the returned candidate was null and void and further declaration was sought that the petitioner therein is duly elected as there were only two candidates in the fray. After trial, the election petition was allowed and thus the elected candidate approached to the Hon'ble Apex Court. The Hon'ble Apex Court held that mere finding that there was improper acceptance of nomination is not sufficient for declaration that the election is void under Section 100(1)(d) of the RP Act. It is also held that there has to be further pleading and proof that the result of the election of the returned candidate is materially affected. The order of the High Court was confirmed by the Hon'ble Apex Court.
