- his assets or
- his criminal antecedents
The Supreme Court Bench Headed by Chief Justice P. Sathasivam said that
the returning officer had the power to reject the nomination papers on
the grounds that the affidavit disclosing his assets and his criminal
antecedents is not complete or is not in proper form.
The Supreme Court Judgement came on the plea by NGO Resurgent India, which had
contended that a large number of candidates were leaving the columns
concerning their assets or criminal antecedents, if any, blank.
The NGO had contended that such nomination papers are liable to be rejected.
