The Act makes joinder of such a candidate mandatory, and non-compliance with the required party provisions attracts dismissal. A candidate does not lose necessary-party status merely because he has withdrawn from contest if the petition still alleges corrupt practice against him. The separate notice-and-hearing safeguard for persons later named in findings does not override the mandatory joinder requirement. en-us Tue, 13 Aug 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 11:10:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187866 Election petitions under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 operate as a self-contained statutory code, so the Limitation Act, 1963 does not apply to permit condonation of delay in impleading a person against whom corrupt practice is alleged.
