S. 123(3) should be interpreted in context of simultaneous and contemporaneous amendments, that is, insertion of cl. (3-A) in S. 123, RP Act and S. 153-A IPC. Such a construction is required to maintain purity of electoral process and free it from communal and fissiparous tendencies, tendencies that are against national unity. Ss. 123(2), (3) &amp; (3-A), RP Act seek to eliminate from electoral process divisive factors based on differences relating to our historical and political background which may generate powerful emotions depriving people of their rational thought and action, thereby running counter to tenets of Constitution. Our Constitution gives us single citizenship and a secular Government. Thus, S. 123(3) must cover all appeals made to electorate on grounds of religion, etc. of: (i) any candidate, or (ii) his agent, or (iii) any other person making the appeal with the consent of the candidate, or (iv) the voter\/elector. Interpretation that seeks to address mischief, that is consistent with Constitution and promotes constitutional objectives and that responds to nation\u2019s needs, must be adopted. Effect of constitutional ethos and secular character of out polity has to be considered. Rule that religious activities should not be mixed up with secular activities is evident from the provisions of the Constitution. Applying rule to present case, State can and indeed has in terms of S. 123(3) forbidden interference of religions and religious beliefs with secular activity of elections to legislative bodies. Court should free electoral process from forces of national disintegration like fundamentalism and communalism and maintain secular character of our democratic polity. Judicial interpretation should be based on constitutional goals and statutory purpose. Where legislation and bye-laws are silent in a given aspect, courts will have to read constitutional requirement into said legislation. Where two interpretations are possible, one that promotes constitutional objectives ought to be preferred over other that does not do so. [Abhiram Singh v. C.D.
