Allahabad High Court’s Justice Sameer Jain has recused himself from hearing Samajwadi Party leader Mohammad Azam Khan’s 2016 Yatim Khana eviction case. The earlier stay on the trial court’s final judgment will remain in effect until the next hearing.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on March 18 seeking to bar candidates facing serious criminal charges from contesting elections. The petition aims to strengthen electoral integrity by preventing individuals accused of grave offenses from entering public office. The case raises concerns about criminalization in politics and its impact on governance.
