Today(on 22nd July), The Delhi High Court found multiple errors in Somnath Bharti’s petition challenging Bansuri Swaraj’s 2024 election win, citing typographical mistakes. Bharti has been directed to submit a corrected version within ten days. The next hearing is scheduled for August 14. The petition accused Swaraj and others of engaging in corrupt practices, including alleged ballot tampering.
Legal heavyweights Bansuri Swaraj of BJP and Somnath Bharti of AAP vie for New Delhi Lok Sabha seat, showcasing the scarcity of lawyer MPs. Swaraj, daughter of late Union Minister Sushma Swaraj, brings legal expertise, while Bharti, despite facing legal challenges, boasts an IIT MSc and Delhi University LLB. The constituency’s historical significance and voter sentiments add complexity to the race.
