Politicians of all stripes must pay special attention to the evil of criminalization of politics as it deals mainly with the vested interests of politicians. Essentially, it eliminates all constitutional safeguards of democracy, spoils bureaucracy by making it partial, and even threatens the judiciary; thus, destroying the basics of democracy. This paper attempts to look at the Supreme Court of India; there was a fundamental question-court curbing criminalization with case analysis. Reforming political finance and governance is vital to prevent money and muscle from becoming a hegemonic role in politics. Is it feasible to cohabit with rampant criminality while maintaining free and fair democratic processes? A five-judge bench is appropriate given the issue's intricacy and essential importance in Manoj Narula v. Union of India (2014). The Constitution obligates the Court to breathe new life into the Constitution’s terms.
