If the candidate is later acquitted in appeal before the election petition is decided, the acquittal operates retrospectively and extinguishes the conviction and sentence from inception. On that basis, the nomination cannot be treated as improperly accepted under Section 100(1)(d)(i), and the election cannot be set aside under Section 100(1)(d)(iv) where the disqualification rested solely on that conviction. en-us Thu, 15 Jan 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 01 Dec 2021 15:39:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299038 A conviction-based disqualification under Article 102(1)(e) and Section 8(2) of the Representation of the People Act is assessed with reference to the date fixed for scrutiny of nomination under Section 36(2)(a).
