A notice was issued by the
Supreme Court to the central government and election commission based on
a petition filed to restrict candidates from contesting more than one
constituency simultaneously for the same legislative body in the similar
election.
The bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Justice NV
Ramana served notice on a plea filed by advocate H.K. Naik for asking
declaration that Section 70 of the Representation of the People Act,
1951, which deals with the case of a candidate getting elected from more
than one seat, be declared in excess of legal power or authority of the
constitution.
