Rajan, J. declared the election of one K.M. Shaji as void, for having used corrupt practices and unduly influencing voters by creating a religious divide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner filed the instant petition to challenge the election of respondent to the Azheekode Assembly Constituency. His case was that: (i) respondent, being a Muslim candidate, had appealed to voters belonging to Muslim community to vote for him on the ground of religion, and (ii) he had distributed pamphlets accusing petitioner of having an extra-marital relationship with Ms. Saritha (an accused in the solar scam case \u2013 a major issue in 2016 Kerala General Assembly Election).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court noted that the respondent had appealed to Muslim voters to refrain from voting for petitioner on the ground that he was a non-Muslim. Pamphlets as to petitioner\u2019s personal life were false and published with the intention to defame him. It was observed that publication of such pamphlets had created misunderstanding among the voters and affected petitioner\u2019s election prospects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court noted Apex Court\u2019s opinion in <em>Krishnamoorthy v. Sivakumar, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/nvokO1ke\">2015 (3) SCC 467<\/a> where it was held that any direct or indirect interference\/attempt to interfere on part of a candidate amounts to undue influence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was opined that the basic principle underlying Section 123(3) of the Representation of People Act, 1951 (RP Act) is elimination of divisive factors such as religion, caste etc. from the electoral process. Candidates cannot tell the electors that their rivals are unfit to act as representatives of people on the ground of their religion as such an appeal would be on the ground of religion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above, the petition was allowed and respondent\u2019s election was set aside under Sections 100(1)(b) and 100(1)(d)(ii) of the RP Act for having committed corrupt practice under Sections 123(3) and 123(4) of the RP Act. He was also disqualified from contesting in any election for a period of six years and subjected to payment of Rs. 50,000 as cost to the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, the Court directed its finding in relation to respondent\u2019s corrupt practice to be forwarded to the President of India for appropriate action under Section 8A of the RP Act; and also directed the High Court to intimate substance of its decision to the Election Commission and the Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly.[M.V.
