Today, On 24th October, the Supreme Court will hear Madhu Koda’s plea for a stay on his 2017 conviction concerning the coal scam. Koda, convicted for corruption in coal block allocations, aims to contest upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections. The Delhi High Court previously denied similar requests, citing disqualification from public office for convicted individuals.
