NEW DELHI: Can state govt make law fixing minimum education qualification as an eligibility criteria for contesting local body election?

The Supreme Court on Monday expressed concern over state government making law on the issue saying that it would bar a major chunk of the population from contesting elections.

A bench of justices J Chelameswar and AM Sapre said that bringing such law would deprive more than 50 percent of population from contesting election.

"We have serious doubts over educational qualification being made an eligibility criteria for contesting election. We are really worried about the fixing of educational qualification," the bench said.

The court was hearing a PIL challenging Haryana government's decision to fix education qualification as an eligibility criteria to contest elections.
