The Supreme Court in its landmark Judgement on 11 July 2013 barred Persons in Jail or Police Custody from contesting election for legislative bodies. The Supreme Court’s decision would help in bringing an end to the era of the under trial politicians, who contest elections from behind the bars.

The court, however, made it clear that disqualificatio n will not be applicable to person subjected to preventive detention, under any law. Deepti
