Chinappa was convicted for torturing his wife for guilty dowry. Satbir was held of practicing untouchability. The court did not allow either-of them to contest elections. Does this decision go against the principles of democratic elections?

The decision to disqualify Chinappa and Satbir from contesting elections aligns with democratic principles. Laws prevent individuals convicted of serious crimes like dowry torture and practicing untouchability from running for office. This upholds democratic values by ensuring candidates with criminal records, violating human rights, or promoting social injustices don’t influence governance. Such measures maintain the integrity of elections, preserving the democratic process and principles of equality and justice.
