Singh’s case is much like the candidates in whose favour SC delivered the Nathan judgement. Quoting the contemporary affidavit, Vikram Hegde, lawyer for Singh, mentioned, ” Govt is searching for to set the clock again.”As per the 1993 workplace memorandum, “wage” and “agricultural revenue” usually are not included in computing “revenue” of a household.
