The Court applied the rationale that all facts which were essential to clothe the petition with complete cause of action must be pleaded and failure to plead even a single material fact would amount to disobedience of the mandate. Though the Petitioner had alleged that the Minister had not disclosed legal proceedings for an offence punishable with imprisonment for two or more years, he was unable to substantiate that the charge had been framed and cognizance taken by the court prior to the date of the nomination.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Section 33A Representation of the People Act, 1951 nActCompID=56683 Jabar Singh vs. Genda Lal <manuid>MANU/SC/0125/1963</manuid> Kisan Shankar Kathore vs. Arun Dattatray Sawant and Ors. <manuid>MANU/SC/0462/2014</manuid> People's Union for civil Liberties (PUCL) and Ors. vs. Union of India (UOI) and Anr. <manuid>MANU/SC/0234/2003</manuid></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Election, material fact, disclosure, nomination</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
