Today (16th April): The Madras High Court rejected a PIL challenging the BJP candidate’s nomination from Tirunelveli, citing lateness for relief. The petitioner alleged violations of electoral laws and concealment of a pending criminal case. The court advised the petitioner to approach the Election Commission earlier and again, if necessary. The nomination controversy continues.
The Bombay High Court dismissed a PIL against Balumama temple trustees due to the absence of an FIR. Allegations of fund misappropriation and illegal land sale were made, but the court deemed the plea unfounded. It also rejected a request to transfer an application to another charity commissioner as it was filed by an unrelated party.
