In that situation, Article 226 may be invoked even if an election petition is no longer available. The text also states that a candidate for a State Legislative Assembly must be an elector of a constituency in the State under Article 173(c) and Section 5(c) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951; a person lacking that qualification cannot validly continue to sit and vote, and restraint from functioning as a member is treated as consistent with the constitutional scheme. en-us Mon, 26 Apr 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 11:08:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174425 Article 329(b) bars interference with an election during the electoral process, but that bar does not extend to a post-election challenge where the elected person never possessed the basic constitutional and statutory qualification to be chosen.
