Materially affected
Materially affected, What s. 100 requires is that the High Court before it declares the election of a returned candidate is void should be of opinion that the result of the election insofar as it concerns a returned candidate has been materially affected by the improper acceptance of any nomination. It is not intended to provide a convenient technical plea in a case like this where there can be no dispute at all about the election being materially affected by the accepted of the improper nomination. 'Materially affected' is not a formula that has got to be specified but it is an essential requirement that is contemplated in this section, Durai Muthuswami v. N. Nachiappan, AIR 1973 SC 1419: (1973) 2 SCC 45: (1974) 1 SCR 40.These words indicate that the result should not be judged by the mere increase or decrease in the total number of votes secured by the returned candidate but by proof of the fact that the wasted votes would have been distributed in such a manner between the contesting...
The result of the election has been materially affected
The result of the election has been materially affected, these words seems to us to indicate that the result should not be judged by the mere increase or decrease in the total number of votes secured by the returned candidate but by proof of the fact that the wasted votes would have been distributed in such a manner between the contesting candidates as would have brought about the defeat of the returned candidate, Vashisht Narain Sharma v. Dev Chandra, AIR 1954 SC 513 (515). [Representation of the people Act, 1951, s. 100(1)(c)]...
Waste
Waste [fr. vastum, Lat.], any spoil or destruction in houses, gardens, trees, etc., by a tenant; as to what acts amount to waste, see Co. Litt. 53 a. It is either (1) legal, sub-divided into (a) voluntary or commissive, as where the tenant pulls down a house or a part thereof, or ploughs up ancient meadow, and (b) permissive or omissive, as where a tenant suffers a house to fall out of repair; or (2) equitable, which comprehends acts not deemed waste at Common Law. Both for voluntary and permissive waste an action lies against a tenant, whether for life or years, by virtue of the statute of Gloucester, 6 Edw. 1, c. 5. A tenant from year to year is liable for voluntary waste only. An injunction will be granted to restrain voluntary waste, as by ploughing up ancient meadow. See Woodfall, L. & T., and Aggs on Agricultural Holdings. A mortgagor in possession will be restrained from cutting down timber, for as the whole estate is the security for the money advanced, the mortgagor ought not ...
Waste lands
Waste lands, the expression 'waste lands' has a well-defined legal connotation. It means lands which are desolate, abandoned, and not fit ordinarily for use for building purposes. In Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 3rd Edn., Vol. 2, p. 2510, the meaning of the word 'waste' is given as: 1. Waste or desert land, uninhabited or sparsely inhabited and uncultivated country; a wild and desolate region; 2. A piece of land not cultivated or used for any purpose, and producing little or no herbage or wood. In legal use, a piece of such land not in any man's occupation but lying common. 3. A devastated region. In the sequence in which the expression 'waste lands' appears in the two relevant sections, it cannot but have its ordinary etymological meaning as given in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary i.e., land lying desolate or useless, without trees or grass or vegetation, not capable of any use. In Rajanand Brahma Shah v. State of Uttar Pradesh, ((1967) 1 SCR 373: AIR 1967 SC 1081: (1967) 2 SCJ 8...
