It is humbly submitted that while the seizure of allegedly undeclared monies from the associates of a major political party's secretary has resulted in the rescission of the Lok Sabha election, there has been no such action taken m respect of the Assembly elections. It is submitted that if the monies were used to influence voters in Vellore, then the rescission of the Lok Sabha election for Vellore constituency alone, without a similar action being taken in respect of the Assembly elections in Vellore is arbitrary and discriminatory and contravenes Article 14 of the Constitution. (vii) That the Impugned Notification is liable to be set aside as disproportionate and lacking in due application of mind. Election Commission in its proceedings has admittedly compiled precise details of alleged corrupt activities against a candidate of another party and has also stated categorically that unlawful activities have been carried out only by the abovementioned member and others of that political party alone. However, instead of taking disciplinary actions against that candidate alone, the Impugned Notification seeks for rescission of the entire electoral process. It is humbly submitted that Impugned Notification seeks to penalize all the candidates contesting elections in the Vellore Constituency for the violation of law by one candidate. Therefore, the Impugned Notification contravenes Article 14 of the Constitution and http://www.judis.nic.in
