Judgment, page 55
From the headnote
Issue for Consideration Issue arose whether the non-mentioning of the income shown in the income tax return for four financial years in the Form 26 Affidavit and its portrayal as “Nil” by the respondent no.1-returned candidate would amount to non-disclosure, thereby rendering the acceptance of his nomination as improper and making her election liable to be declared void u/s.100(1)(d)(i) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951; whether such non-disclosure constitutes a corrupt practice, rendering her election liable to be declared void u/s.100(1)(b); and does such non-disclosure amount
