Lucknow:
The election of 10 newly elected Rajya Sabha MPs was challenged earlier than the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Monday.
The petition was moved by businessman Prakash Bajaj, who was supported by the Samajwadi Party in the elections.
The petitioner’s lawyer, Vivek Kumar Singh, mentioned the returning officer had wrongly rejected the nomination of Bajaj, citing a fault in his affidavit and type and all of the 10 MPs had been declared unopposed on November 2, 2020.
“Since the nomination was arbitrarily rejected, the elections should be conducted afresh”, demanded the petitioner.
The petition has been filed in the registry of the Court and is more likely to come up for listening to on Wednesday.
