What Supreme Court said?
• It is mandatory for political parties (at the Central and State election level) to publish detailed information
regarding candidates with pending criminal cases and the reasons for selecting them over others as well as
to why other individuals without criminal antecedents could not be selected as candidates.
• Such details have to be published on their websites, one local vernacular newspaper and one national
newspaper, on the official social media platforms of the political party, including Facebook and Twitter.
• Details of criminal antecedents of candidates should include nature of the offences, and relevant particulars
such as whether charges have been framed, concerned Court, case number etc.
• The reasons as to selection shall be with reference to the qualifications, achievements and merit of the
candidate concerned, and not mere “winnability” at the polls.
• These details shall be published within 48 hours of the selection of the candidate or not less than two weeks
before the first date for filing of nominations, whichever is earlier.
• The political party concerned shall then submit a report of compliance with these directions with the Election
Commission within 72 hours of the selection of the said candidate.
• If a political party fails to submit such compliance report with the Election Commission (EC), EC shall bring such
non-compliance by the political party concerned to the notice of the Supreme Court as contempt of Court’s
orders/directions.
Reasons for Criminalisation of Politics
• Vote Bank politics: as majority of the voters are manoeuvrable, purchasable. Expenditure for vote buying and
other illegitimate purposes through criminals leads to nexus between politicians and criminals.
