Hearing on petition challenging H.D. Revanna's election deferred to Nov 25 by High Court
Bengaluru: The High Court has deferred the hearing to November 25 on the petition filed by defeated BJP candidate D. Devarajegowda, challenging the election of Holenarsipura JD(S) MLA H.D. Revanna.
The single-judge bench of Justice Jyothi Mulimani heard the petition, where advocates for both the petitioner and the respondent sought more time to present arguments, leading the court to adjourn the hearing.
In his petition, Devarajegowda alleged that Revanna won the election through irregularities, and that runner-up Shreyas Patel lured voters with incentives. He requested the court to annul the votes of both Revanna and Patel.
