india ποΈ SC reinstates petition against BJP MP Mallah's win
The Supreme Court overturned the Gauhati High Court's dismissal of an election petition challenging BJP MP Kripanath Mallahβs 2024 Lok Sabha victory. Congress candidate Hafiz Rashid Ahmed Choudhury filed the challenge over alleged corrupt practices in Assam's Karimganj constituency. The petition was dismissed by the High Court in April 2025 due to certain defects in the filing. The top court ruled that the cited defects were not fatal to the entire petition. Now, the High Court must examine the merits, provided the affidavit attestation is verified. ποΈ
