Its a constitutional right if it is infringed by any statutory authorities then the fundamental rights will come in play.

Right to contest in elections is a fundamental right, in terms of others such as Art 14, 19 etc.
no one can take away or abridge this fundamental right.
but through certain and suitable legislation, can limit the right to contest in elections.
