Virender Nath Gautam vs Satpal Singh & Ors on 8 December, 2006
In the case of Virendra Nath Gautam Vs. Satpal Singh and Ors.
(supra), the Court considered a distinction between material facts and
particulars. The material facts are primary or basic facts which must be
pleaded by the plaintiff or by the defendant in support of the case set up
by him, either to prove his cause of action or defence. Particulars are
held to be details in support of material facts pleaded by the party. They
amplify, refine and embellish material facts by giving distinctive touch to
the basic contours of a picture already drawn, so as to make it full, more
clear and more informative. It is held that what is material in the
( 40 ) EP-03-2025
pleading are the facts and not the particulars. The Court considered
facta probanda i.e. the facts required to be proved and facta probantia
i.e. the facts by means of which they are proved. It is held that what is
necessarily to be stated are only the material facts and not the
particulars.
Jaya Bachchan vs Union Of India And Ors on 8 May, 2006
66. Election Petition is mainly filed on the grounds that the respondent
No.1 was holding an office of profit. Second ground is that the
nomination form of the respondent No.1 was wrongly accepted. This
Court has already held both the issues in favour of respondent No.1.
Consequently, this Court holds that no cause of action is disclosed to go
for trial. The judgment in the case of Jaya Bachchan Vs. Union of India
and Ors. (supra), is not applicable in the case of office of profit under
the Government. In the present case, it is the local authority and not
covered under Article 191 of Constitution of India.

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.
Sri Mairembam Prithviraj @ Prithibiraj ... vs Shri Pukhrem Sharatchandra Singh on 28 October, 2016
In the case of Mairembam Prithviraj and Ors. Vs. Pukhrem
Sharatchandra Singh and Ors. (supra), the nomination of the candidate
was objected to on the ground of false declaration relating to
educational qualifications. 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.
U.S. Sasidharan vs K. Karunakaran & Anr on 23 August, 1989
In the case of U. S. Sasidharan Vs. K. Karunakaran and Ors.
(supra), it was held that Sections 81(3) and 86(1) are mandatory in
nature. If there is non-compliance with these mandatory provisions, the
court would be bound to dismiss the election petition. The election
petition was dismissed by the High Court and the said order was upheld
by the Hon'ble Apex Court.
Dr. Vijay Laxmi Sadho vs Jagdish on 5 January, 2001
In the case of Vijay
Laxmi Sadho Vs. Jagdish (supra), the Hon'ble Apex Court considered
that though the petition did not comply with provision of Sections 81, 82
and 107 of the Act, it was still not liable to be dismissed in limine under
Section 86 for non-compliance with the provision of Section 83(1) or its
proviso. It is considered that the rules framed by the High Court relating
to trial of election petition are only procedural nature and do not
constitute into "substantial law". It was on the ground of language of the
Supreme Court and the High Courts. In the said case, the High Court
had rejected the application under Order VII Rule 11 of CPC. The
application was filed seeking rejection of the petition on the ground that
the affidavit filed in support of allegations of corrupt practice was not
drawn in the manner prescribed under Section 83(1) of the Act r/w Rule
94-A in the prescribed Form 25. The defects was taken to be fatal.
However, the said application was rejected and the order of high Court
came to be confirmed by the Hon'ble Apex Court.
