THRILLER IN THE MAKING: THE ICONIC HANDING BACK INSTRUMENTS OF POWER
============
In law, “void ab initio” is a Latin phrase that means “void from the beginning.” It refers to a contract, agreement, or other legal instrument that is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable from the moment it was created.
In mind, I am looking at the hand over of instruments of power by 6th Republican President ECL to the 7th Republican President HH.
If the candidature of ECL in 2021 election is declared by the Concourt unconstitutional for want of eligibility, then the presidential election 2021 is void ab initio.
The key implication is lack of validity. A void ab initio election is considered to be without legal effect, as if it never existed.
In this case, the main reason for void ab initio is illegality. The election involves an illegal activity or purpose.
The consequence is no enforcement. The outcome of such an election cannot be enforced by either the winning of losing party.
In summary, “void ab initio” is a legal concept that renders an election invalid from the moment the nomination was accepted, with no binding obligations, rights, or remedies for either or all parties that participated in the election.
Looks like a thriller is in the making on 10th December 2024. We may be witnessing an iconic hand back of power in our lifetime arising from void ab initio.
Waiting patiently….
