The experts cited another 2001 judgement by a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court in Kartar Singh Bhadana versus Hari Singh Nalwa case. Bhadana won an assembly election and it was challenged by Nalwa on the basis that he held a mining lease from the Haryana government, and that he withheld the information. The court ruled that the mining lease did not amount to execution of work undertaken by the government.
