The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that electoral candidates do not have to disclose in their nomination papers every piece of movable property owned by them or their family members, unless the assets are of significant value or reflect a luxurious lifestyle. A division bench said this while upholding the 2019 election of Karikho Kri, an Independent legislator representing the Tezu Assembly constituency in Arunachal Pradesh.
