About the Book
The law relating to corrupt electoral practices is basically a statutory development in the form of Representation of the People Act, 1951, section 123 of which defines various corrupt practices. Hundreds of judgments rendered by various High Courts and the Supreme Court interpret the provisions of corrupt practices and related aspects. The present book is an humble effort to analyse the position of law relating to corrupt practices. These corrupt practices have been discussed thoroughly in the light of various judicial decisions. The law relating to elections should be a dynamic one as far as amendments are concerned. If there are demands from sections of the society to introduce changes in law, e.g., introduction of right to negative vote and right to recall, due consideration should be given and, if possible, law should be amended accordingly. While an attempt has been made to include old as well as recent case law, still many cases might not have got their due share due to either mistake or paucity of space and time. Acknowledgement of obligation is due to number of authorities, authors including the publishers of Halsbury’s Laws of England, whose reference have been made at various places in the work providing an insight into the problem and a scheme to follow. |
