SC Dismisses Meenakshi Natarajan Plea, Congress Gets Setback In RS Nomination Row

Описание: The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition filed by Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan challenging the rejection of her Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh, delivering a significant setback to the Congress party.
The court upheld the Returning Officer's decision and reiterated a key principle of election law: courts generally do not interfere once the electoral process has begun. The bench observed that disclosure requirements under Form 26 are mandatory and that candidates must provide complete details in their election affidavits, including information relating to criminal cases.
The Congress had alleged unfair treatment by the Election Commission and launched protests over the issue, with Rahul Gandhi accusing the BJP and the Election Commission of a "jugalbandi" and raising concerns over the rejection of Natarajan's nomination.
While dismissing the petition as not maintainable, the Supreme Court allowed Natarajan the liberty to pursue an election petition before the High Court after the completion of the electoral process, keeping open a legal avenue for further challenge.
