Case History
Summary: Amarmani Tripathi v. State of Uttaranchal (Crl.A. 561/2007) The Supreme Court granted leave and permitted Amarmani Tripathi, an under-trial prisoner and sitting MLA, to file his nomination for U.P. Legislative Assembly elections. The Court held that being an under-trial does not prohibit contesting elections; guilt must be established only after trial concludes. Tripathi was permitted to leave Central Jail, Dehradun on 18.4.2007 under police escort to file his nomination (deadline 20.4.2007) and return by evening of 22.4.2007. The appellant must bear all escort and travel expenses, with CBI officer permitted in the escort party. Contact with others was restricted to election agents and lawyers only.
