Kalaburagi bench of Karnataka High Court upholds rejection of Lok Sabha nomination papers
Kalaburagi: It has been reported that the Kalaburagi bench of the Karnataka High Court convened an emergency session late into the night to address a crucial petition regarding the Lok Sabha election candidate's nomination papers. The court upheld the decision of the Election Commission to reject the nomination papers.
The petitioner, A. Rabindra, had submitted his candidacy for the Kalaburagi Lok Sabha constituency as an independent candidate. However, his nomination faced rejection on Sunday, April 21st. In response, Rabindra opted to approach the High Court. Given the urgency of the matter and the court's holiday on Sunday, Rabindra submitted an affidavit requesting an expedited hearing on Monday, April 22nd.
The High Court deliberated on the case at 4 pm on Tuesday, April 23rd, and initially ordered the Election Commission to accept Rabindra's nomination papers. However, the Election Commission challenged this decision and appealed to a two-judge bench of the Kalaburagi bench of the Karnataka High Court.
Subsequently, the court reconvened for a hearing at approximately 10:30 pm on Tuesday, ultimately upholding the original decision to reject Rabindra's nomination.
