Accordingly, contracts with GMIDC or MJP did not satisfy the statutory requirement of a subsisting contract with the State Government. Where a statute transfers projects, assets, rights and obligations to a corporation, the subsisting contract relating to that project continues with the transferee without a fresh assignment or contractor consent, and ceases to be a contract with the State Government. On those principles, the appellant did not incur disqualification under section 9-A. en-us Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:44:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170041 For disqualification under section 9-A of the Representation of the People Act, the expression "appropriate Government" means the State Government in its ordinary sense, not a statutory corporation or authority merely falling within Article 12.
