[25] S.9, Hindu Marriage Act, 1955; S.22, Special Marriage Act, 1954. The provision is different worded in the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936, but it has been interpreted in such a manner that it has been given the same meaning as under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and the Special Marriage Act, 1954. However, the provision is different under the S.32, Indian Divorce Act, 1869 but efforts are being made to give it such an interpretation so as to bring it in consonance with the other laws. The provision under Muslim law is almost the same as under the modern Hindu law, though under Muslim law and under the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936 a suit in a civil court has to be filed and not a petition as under other laws.

[18] Section 2 (9) of the Act includes persons employed through an intermediate employer within the definition of employee. The broad scope of ESIA was exemplified in the case of Royal Talkies. Hyderabad v ESIC [(1978) 4 SCC 204] where the Apex Court explained that the clause ‘in connection with the work of the establishment under s. 2 (9) implies a loose connection and it merely requires that “some nexus must exist between the establishment and the work of the employee.” In words of the Court, he “may not do anything directly for the establishment; he may not do anything statutorily obligatory in the establishment; he may not even do anything which is primary or necessary for the survival or smooth running of the establishment or integral to the adventure.”

[19] Section 2 (f) of the Act includes within the definition of employee a person engaged by or through a contractor.

[2] In an ideal scenario, any reference to campaign promises should have included all promises made to the electorate on the campaign trail, irrespective of whether or not those promises are mentioned in a formal manifesto. If this were not the case, it would be extremely easy for political parties to escape accountability by disseminating misleading promises by word of mouth or other means, but not specifying them in the manifesto. However, such a broad definition would imply that an isolated promise made by even a local politician would bind the party if voted to power. Therefore, a pragmatic middle path needs to be adopted. As a result, for the purposes of this paper, any reference to “campaign promises” or “poll pledges” includes not only all manifesto promises (since they are

“officially” endorsed by the party) but also promises that are made by the upper echelons of the party hierarchy, or repeated by numerous political leaders on the campaign trail, or widely disseminated by party functionaries by other means (since it may be implied that such promises have been acceded to by the party leadership, unless specifically denied or objected to). The issue of whether or not a promise that does not appear in the manifesto satisfies the above-mentioned criteria may be construed to be a question of fact.

[5] Even if large sections of population in a constituency boycott elections, the election of the representative is not threatened in the absence of a legally specified minimum voter turnout for an election to be regarded as valid. In such cases, while the moral legitimacy of the process may be questioned, its legal validity is beyond doubt.

[41] Resurgence India v. Election Commission of India (2014) 14 SCC 189 [20]-[22].

[42] Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India AIR 1978 SC 597. Although not very relevant for our discussion, the Supreme Court in another case included the right to know within the broad scope of Article 21, besides it being a part of Article 19(1)(a), thus showing how a single right can fall under multiple interconnected heads. This conclusion reached by the Court, however, was not accompanied by any extensive reasoning or discussion on that particular point, even though the Court acknowledged that access to information was necessary for a participatory role to be played by the people in a democratic system. See Reliance Petrochemicals Ltd. v. Proprietors of Indian Express Newspapers, Bombay AIR 1989 SC 190 [34].

[49] The arguments relating to the reasonableness of this assumption have already been discussed in Part 2 of this essay.

[50] One may also argue that credibility of election promises can be a far more important consideration in deciding for whom to vote, than information about certain aspects of the antecedents of a candidate, say, for example, educational qualifications. In fact, Justice Venkatarama Reddi dissented with the majority on this issue in People’s Union for Civil Liberties, by holding that educational qualifications of a candidate did not constitute essential information that the voter ought to know as a matter of right, and thus, did not require compulsory disclosure. See People’s Union for Civil Liberties (n 40) [122].

[51] The act of filing of a false affidavit relating to the information that is to be mandatorily disclosed by the candidate, including his or her antecedents, is made punishable under Section 125A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

[52] This proposition is consistent with judicial precedent as well. For instance, the Supreme Court disallowed the practice of leaving blank spaces in affidavits by the candidates, on the ground that it rendered the right of a voter to receive information about the candidate, absolutely ineffective. See Resurgence India (n 55). ⁶⁷ Sencer (n 3) 440.

[60] It is worth noting that while casting a vote in favour of a candidate put up by a party, the voter not only exercises a choice for the candidate, but also for the party symbol.
