It is now a well settled principle that every nondisclosure or mis-declaration would not be sufficient enough to permanently disqualify a member of the Parliament or a candidate. The purpose and intention needs to be seen behind the nondisclosure or mis-declaration. The returned candidate would be disqualified only when if he/she has dishonestly acquired assets and is hiding them to derive certain benefits. If the non-disclosure or mis-declaration is such that it gives an illegal advantage to a candidate then it would lead to termination of his candidature.
