1) our constitution contains sufficient safeguards for holding free and fair elections

2) we have an independent election commission which supervises holding of free and fair elections

3) SC would not direct manner in which elections are to be held . It is the responsibility for election commission to do so

4) SC has already debarred convicted politicians from contesting elections

5) the qualification of legislators is within the domain of the legislature

6) SC would not lay down any law regarding qualifications of legislators

7) we already have responsible and accountable system of governance in India wherein every 5 years elections are held to parliament and in the states

8) your PIL would be dismissed

1. The SC has already done a lot to stop criminals from getting into legislatures. Due to the judgments of the SC many convicted politicians who could not obtain a stay on their conviction have not been able to contest the elections. To do more some amendments will have to be carried out to Representatives of People's Act, which is only within the domain of the competent legislature.

2. The qualifications of legislators are laid down in the constitution, which can be changed only through a constitutional amendment by the Parliament.

3. So the PIL conceived by you is destined to fail, possibly with costs.

All court including the apex court will function according to constitution and laws contemplated. It is the parliament to make amendments. It is purely the Honorable Court's description to act by availing certain powers available by constitutional and laws. There are chances of reversing by imposing fine etc., The prayers 1 to 7 are relating constitution and laws. A court cannot make any amendment or law.

Since you are aware that all the prayers cannot be pleaded in a single PIL before supreme court, you may try to file more PILs seeking reliefs in each of them separately.

Your argument about interlinked cannot be convinced since if it is interlinked then the prayer can be modified in such a way that all of those can be combined as a single prayer.

You may discuss with the lawyer who will represent you before supreme court on all these issues in detail in person and then proceed.
