(Para 4) 1 “No voter to be left behind” SUMMARY These Appeals were filed to challenge the judgments passed by the High Court of Bombay at Goa on 27th May, 2005 in two Election Petitions setting aside the election of the Appellants to the Legislative Assembly of Goa respectively from 6-Siolim and 25-Vasco-da-Gama assembly constituencies on the ground that theywere holding “office of Profit”as contemplated by Article 191(1)(a) of the Constitution, being respective the Chairman of the Goa Khadi and Village Industries Board (Board,for short), constituted under the Goa Khadi and Village Industries Board Act, 1965 (Act, for short), and Chairman of the Goa State Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes Finance & Development Corporation Limited (“Corporation”, for short) on the date of the nomination as well as on the date of election. The Appellants’ contended that they were not holding “office of profit” and were not receiving any salary or allowances for the said post they held and also by virtue of the provision contained in terms of clause (9) of Schedule to theGoa, Daman and Diu Members of Legislative Assembly (Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1982, the offices have been specified as offices exempted from any disqualification. The Supreme Court held that though by virtue of clause (9) of the Sched- ule to the 1982 Act the office of Chairman/Director or member of the statutory or non-statutory body or committee or corporation constituted by the State Government are exempted from any disqualification as contemplated under Article 191 (1) (a) of the Constitution, but the proviso under clause (9) clearly stipulates that the compen- satory allowance to be paid to such holder of offices would only mean any expense which is incurred by the holder of the office in performing the functions of that office and any other sum of money or other perquisites would not amount to compensato- ry allowance and the holder of such offices would not be entitled to the benefit of exemption from disqualification specified under clause (9) of the Schedule. It held that the Appellants were in receipt of variety of perquisites that can- not be said to be given by way of compensatory allowance. The Appellant in C.A. No.3578 was entitled to salary or other honorarium and allowances from the funds of the Khadi and Village Industries Board under rule 7 of the Goa Daman and Diu Khadi and Village Industries Board Rules, 1967. That the holder of the office of Chairman had not received or had not opted to get any salary or honorarium is not material. The Appeals were dismissed. 2 “No voter to be left behind” JUDGMENT Hon’ble K.G. Balakrishnan,Chief Justice Hon’bleDalveer Bhandari, Judge Hon’bleD.K. Jain, Judge Advocates for Appellant/Petitioner/Plaintiff : Dhruv Mehta, Jha and Yashraj Singh Deora, Advs. for K.L. Mehta & Co For Respondents/Defendant: M.N. Krishnamani and Abhishek M.

Venayagam, Vinayakam, Advs. for Lawyer’s Knit & Co., Srinivas Khalap and Ashok Mathur, Advs., (1) The appellants, in these two appeals, challenge the judgment in the Election Petition nos. 1 and 2 of 2002.

The appellant in C.A No. 3578/05 was elected to the Legislative Assembly of State of Goa from Siolim constituency in the election held on 30.5.2002, whereas the appellant in C.A. No. 3579/05 was elected from Vasco-da-gama Assembly constituency of the State Legislature. The election petitions were preferred by two unsuccessful candidates in the elections alleging that these two appellants were holding ‘office of profit’ at the time when they contested the elections and, therefore, they were ineligible to be elected to the legislature. At the time of filing their nominations, the appellant in C.A. No. 3578/05 was the Chairman of the Goa Khadi and Village Industries Board of the State of Goa, whereas the appellant in C.A.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This is a study of the process by which public policy implementation influences the crystallisation of political identities premised on ethnic, lingual, religious or other similar grounds. It argues that the failure of development policy to intervene in socio-economic conditions encourages societal groups to articulate themselves as political identities. The Jharkhand movement in south Bihar has been studied to substantiate the theoretical formulations. After briefly outlining the historical roots of the Jharkhand movement, the study locates the tribal policy of the colonial and post-colonial Indian state in the dynamics of the colonial and nationalist discourses. The thesis then focuses on the changing development profile of the Jharkhand region and correlates it to the fluctuating electoral support for Jharkhandi political formations.
