Days after Prajwal Revanna's disqualification, HC summons HD Revanna over election irregularities
Bengaluru: Karnataka High Court on Monday issued a summons order to senior JD(S) leader and Hole Narsipur MLA H.D Revanna, based on a petition Seeking disqualification of the MLA for alleged electoral irregularities. This comes days after Revanna’s son Prajwal Revanna, the party’s only Lok Shaba member was disqualified from the post, for alleged irregularities.
The high court issued the summons during the hearing of the objection petition filed by Devarajegowda, a lawyer and defeated BJP candidate from Hole Narsipur.
The court which had conducted the inquiry earlier had also issued a summons. However, the defendant Revanna did not accept the summons. In this context, the High Court issued another summons through the secretaries of the Assembly and postponed the hearing to September 25.
Meanwhile, Advocate Devarajegowda filed the petition stating that HD Revanna won the assembly elections by committing huge irregularities. Devarajegowda further alleged that, Shreyas Patel the Congress candidate from the Hole Narsipur constituency, who was at the 2nd place in the polls, had also lured the voters. Therefore, he has sought through the petition that the elections of both of them should be invalidated.
