What this page means

Candidates must self-declare criminal cases in a sworn affidavit (Form 26) when contesting an election. This page republishes those self-declarations with their procedural stage as stated. An FIR or pending case is an accusation. Only a court decides guilt; a declared conviction is shown separately and as declared. Statute mappings are dictionary-based and reviewed — nothing here is an editorial judgment of any person.

This is the status disclosed in the election affidavit digest dated 6 Jun 2024. The case may have changed since then. Post-affidavit updates appear only when supported by a primary source, with their own dates.
