Justice Sinha held Indira guilty of using govt official, machinery in poll campaign
With this address to the nation through the All India Radio on June 25, 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi proclaimed Emergency in the country. This was just 13 days after Justice Jagmohan Lal Sinha of Allahabad high court, in a momentous verdict, declared her election from Rae Bareli in 1971 Lok Sabha polls null and void, and disqualified her from holding any public office for six years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In his verdict, Justice Sinha found Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractices on just two counts, rejecting a majority of charges levelled against her by her opponent in the 1971 election -- Raj Narain. Congress (R), the newly floated party, led by Indira Gandhi, had registered a landslide win in the 1971 elections -- 352 out of the 518 seats in the lower house. Indira herself won from Rae Bareli on March 10, defeating Raj Narain, the Samyukta Socialist Party candidate, by 1.1 lakh votes. However, feisty Raj Narain filed an election petition before the Allahabad high court within 45 days, challenging the election of Indira Gandhi, who was now the prime minister. Justice Sinha upheld the plea against Indira Gandhi on the basis of just two findings. He rejected a majority of charges levelled against her by her opponent. Charges Upheld 1. Use of govt official as an election agent Yashpal Kapur was her election agent for the Rae Bareli election. But he was also a Govt of India officer -- an OSD in the PM secretariat. Although he had resigned from his the PM office on Jan 13, 1971 and the secretariat issued a notification in this regard on Jan 25, 1971, the prosecution was able to prove that Kapur had delivered an election speech in favour of Indira Gandhi on Jan 7, 1971 at Munshi Ganj and another speech at Kalan on Jan 19, 1971, much before he was officially relieved from the PMO. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The court concluded that Gandhi obtained and procured the assistance of Kapur for the furtherance of her election prospects when he was serving as a gazetted officer with the government. This was in violation of Section 123(7) of the RP Act, Justice Sinha said. 2. Used Govt Machinery To Set Up Stage For Rally The second finding against Indira was that her election agent Yashpal Kapur, the DM of Rae Bareli, the superintendent of police and the home secretary of UP government arranged for rostrums, loudspeakers and barricades to be set up and for members of the police force to be posted in connection with her election tour on Feb 1 and Feb 25, 1971. This, the court said, amounted to a corrupt practice under Section 123(7) of the RP Act. Charges Dropped 1. Use of Armed Forces For campaigning It was alleged that at the instance of Gandhi, Air Force planes and helicopters had been arranged for her to enable her to address election meetings on two occasions. Justice Sinha turned down the charge. 2. Distribution of quilts, blankets, liquor It was alleged that quilts, blankets, dhotis and liquor were distributed by her agents and workers among voters. This allegation was also not upheld by the High Court. 3. Poll symbol – Cow politics It was argued that the Congress (R) symbol -- cow and calf -- was a religious symbol and an appeal to vote for the same amounted to an appeal vote based on religion. The HC, however, said that a cow and a calf are not religious symbols. 4. Election Expenses Indira Gandhi claimed she spent Rs. 12,892. Raj Narain was of the contention that she had spent Rs 1,28,700. He also claimed that Indira Gandhi spent Rs 1,32,000 for construction of rostrums for public meetings. The HC came to the conclusion that her total expenditure was Rs 31,976, beloe the precribed limit of Rs 35,000. SC's Partial Stay Indira Gandhi challenged the HC verdict in the Supreme Court, which allowed a partial stay on June 24, 1971. Indira Gandhi wanted a total stay on the HC order. The apex court order didn't satisfy her. A day later, she made the proclamation about the Emergency.
