Today, On 11th June , The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear on Friday a petition filed by Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan challenging the rejection of her Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh. Natarajan has sought judicial intervention against the decision, bringing the nomination dispute before the apex court for urgent consideration.
Senior Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan has moved the Supreme Court challenging the rejection of her Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh. The plea raises important questions on candidate disclosure obligations, election transparency, pending court proceedings, and the legality of the Returning Officer’s decision.
The Delhi High Court upheld Manish Sisodia’s 2020 election victory, ruling that mere registration of an FIR does not amount to a pending criminal case. Justice Jasmeet Singh clarified that disclosure is required only when charges are framed or a court takes cognizance of the offence.
Supreme Court urges all High Courts to frame rules mandating disclosure of prior criminal cases in bail applications. Also expunges harsh remarks against a judge, calling them “uncalled for” and passed without hearing him.
