The Madras High Court on Tuesday (19 November) dismissed DMK MP Kanimozhi’s plea to reject the petition challenging her election to Lok Sabha from the Tuticorin constituency, reports Times of India.
The judgement was given by Justice SM Subramaniam, who said that the petition is fit for hearing while rejecting the plea made by Kanimozhi.
As per reports, counsel for Kanimozhi submitted that her husband is a citizen of Singapore and does not hold a PAN card and hence there was no necessity to submit an income statement. The judge said that only after the investigation of the case, a conclusion can be arrived at.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
