Why this petition matters

Started by Manish Jadhav

Unless and Until necessary Amendments are made to the Representative of People's Act, 1951--- People/ Citizens of this country will tend to suffer enormously.

The liberties of people never were nor will be secure when the transactions of their rulers [Peoples Representatives ] may be concealed from them. -----Patrick Henry. The above quote of 18th century is still relevant as far as our present political scenario is concerned.

Petitioner would like to sight an important Judgement of---{Mohinder Singh Gill V/s Election Commission (1948) 1 SCC 405} Upheld the scope of ECI to make rules, guidelines. Notifications etc with regard to conduct of elections. It held--- [ECI]… to be construed widely and the POWERS operates in areas “left unoccupied”, by the legislation. (In our case the R P Act,1951). Forgotten!

. In {Lok Prahari V/s Union of India & others 2018 DGLS (SC) 195}, HELD:-
“Undue accreation of assets of legislators and their associates is certainly a matter which should alarm the citizens of truly democratic society. Such phenomenon is a sure indicator of the beginning of a failing democracy. If left unattended it would inevitably lead to the destruction of democracy and pave the way for the Rule of Mafias.
