Supreme Court Upholds CPI(M) MLA A Raja’s Election Victory from Devikulam, Sets Aside Kerala High Court Order

The Supreme Court of India overturned a Kerala High Court ruling that invalidated A Raja’s election from Devikulam, allowing him to continue as MLA. The High Court had ruled Raja, a Christian, was ineligible for a Scheduled Caste seat reserved for Hindus. The Supreme Court dismissed the election petition and restored Raja’s status.
