casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Satwant Kaur v. Sohan Singh (D) In this 1997 Punjab election petition, Satwant Kaur (appellant) was initially declared elected to the Legislative Assembly. The High Court dismissed her interim applications and ruled against her on 23 November 2000, unseating her and declaring Sohan Singh (the petitioner) elected. However, Satwant Kaur discovered Singh had died on 27 December 1999—during the election petition proceedings but after initial arguments concluded and before judgment was pronounced. The Supreme Court allowed her appeal, holding that Code of Civil Procedure Order XXII Rule 6 (which permits judgment despite death between hearing conclusion and pronouncement) did not apply since hearings had not concluded at Singh's death. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment, declared the election petition abated from 27 December 1999, and remanded the matter to the High Court for proceedings under Section 112 of the Representation of the People Act.
