Amarbir Singh And Ors. vs State Of Punjab And Ors. on 7 July, 2003

30) We have also gone through the reasons given by the High Court in the impugned judgment, in support of the conclusion that the entire process is to be treated as vitiated. We find that reasons are the same which were placed earlier before the High Court by the Government in Amarbir Singh's case (supra) and they were very much before this Court as well when the judgment in Inderpreet Singh Kahlon (supra) was rendered. Without alluding to them in detail, we may say in nutshell that the reasons given pertain to the conduct and role of Mr. Sidhu and his accomplices who had taken money/bribes from some of the candidates or had given undue favour to some other candidates because of other influences. The material discussed is the allegations in various FIRs and statements of Mr. Jagman Singh, a confident and tout of Mr. Sidhu (who had become approver in the criminal case), and others recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the cases in the criminal trial. However, even after noticing these very reasons, this Court had held that those who are innocent cannot be punished because of the misdeeds of Mr. Sidhu in showing favour to other tainted candidates.
