Karnataka HC disqualifies lone JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna from Parliament
Bengaluru: The High Court delivered a verdict on Friday disqualifying MP Prajwal Revanna from representing the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency due to his submission of false information in his election affidavit during the 2019 parliamentary elections.
This decision stemmed from a 2019 petition that accused Prajwal Revanna, the sole MP representing the Janata Dal (Secular) party from the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency, of providing incorrect information in his property declaration and affidavit submitted during the election.
Prajwal Revanna had contested the election as part of an alliance, securing victory in his maiden attempt. However, allegations arose that he had furnished false details in his affidavit, potentially misleading the electorate. Arakalagudu Manju, the BJP candidate who had contested and lost in Hassan, subsequently filed a petition in the High Court on June 26, 2019, seeking the disqualification of Prajwal Revanna from his MP seat.
As a result of the High Court's decision, Prajwal Revanna has been disqualified from representing the Hassan Lok Sabha constituency.
