Call for Action!
Make it tougher for the lawbreakers to be lawmakers.
This important news item did not receive deserved media attention in the
current war hysteria. This Supreme Court ruling, if fully enforced, can
change the landscape of India in coming years.
SC passed a landmark ruling on May 2, 2002 to Election Commission. In this
ruling SC directed EC that candidates contesting parliamentary or assembly
elections must disclose to the public: their criminal records (past and
pending), assets & Liabilities and educational qualifications. The candidates
will be required to furnish these details in an affidavit at the time of
filing their nominations.
“The little man may think over before making his choice of electing law
(breakers as law) makers,” said a three-judge Bench comprising Mr Justice M.B.
Shah, Mr Justice B.P. Singh and Mr Justice H.K. Sema while directing the EC
to pass necessary orders in this regard within two months.
Who opposed this?:
BJP and Congress Party appealed to the Supreme Court against the Delhi High
Court ruling citing ‘intrusion of privacy’! SC ruled again in favor of the
people of India. VICTORY for people of India!!!
What do we need to do?:
We, the people of India, must convey our strongest desire to the Election
Commission (EC) for full enforcement & implementation of this ruling.
Following is online the letter to election Commissioner for this ruling’s
full implementation. We have verified all possible details of this.
Unfortunately we did not find too many about the organization that raised
this signature drive. The letter & news items are available at:
