Kerala HC Dismisses Plea Challenging Election of LDF Candidate Vazhoor Soman

The Kerala High Court on Friday dismissed a plea challenging the election of Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate Vazhoor Soman in the 2021 Kerala Assembly polls from the Peermedu constituency in Idukki district.

A single bench of Justice Mary Joseph dismissed the election petition filed by UDF candidate Syriac Thomas, who lost to Soman in the Assembly elections.

“The petition is dismissed. Parties shall bear their own costs,” stated the court.

Thomas, in his plea, accused the LDF candidate of concealing crucial facts and providing inaccurate information in his affidavit submitted with his nomination papers. He requested that Soman’s election be invalidated and nullified. Subsequent to the ruling, Thomas informed journalists that he intends to challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
