Disclosure of second marriage not a ground to unseat an elected candidate: Bombay HC upholds election of Palghar MLA Rajendra Gavit
“There might be cases where a candidate belonging to a particular religion, in which polygamy is not prohibited, has contracted multiple marriages. If contention about impermissibility to add column in Form 26 Affidavit is accepted, such candidate would never be able to contest any election as disclosure of information about additional wife would attract ground for declaring the election void.”
