In the process of ensuring purity of elections, the Supreme Court in plethora of decisions had declared that the disclosure of such antecedents is a matter of right of the electors who can form an informed decision about the candidates in the electoral fray and that non-disclosure therefore is a ground for setting aside the election of Returned Candidates.
