Abhiram Singh vs C.D. Commachen (Dead) By Lrs.& Ors on 2 January, 2017

―Abhiram Singh v. C.D. Commachen (D) By Lrs. and others is a recent Constitution Bench judgment of this Court dealing with corrupt practices. Appeal on the grounds of religion, race, caste, community, language, etc. of the candidates and the electorate, and canvassing votes accordingly, has been held to be a corrupt practice. The Court, to hold so, adopted a purposive interpretative process declaring that the Representation of the People Act, 1951 should be interpreted in that context to be electorate centric rather than candidate centric. That is not the situation in the present case. The appellants were elected by the people to the Panchayat. There is no case that they are original encroachers on the public property.

Sankar Dastidar vs Shrimati Banjula Dastidar & Anr on 5 December, 2006

In this context, the Court, placing reliance on Sankar Dastidar v. Banjula Dastidar14, held that the suit was not barred by limitation and, ultimately, did not find any substance in the appeal and dismissed the same with costs and directed the appellant to remove the unauthorized encroachment within sixty days from the date of the judgment. The two-Judge Bench, while distinguishing the said decision, opined that it did not relate to interpretation of a statute pertaining to disqualification. Frankly speaking, the said judgment has nothing to do with interpretation.
