2019 Lok Sabha Polls: SC Dismisses Election Petition Against DMK Leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi

The Supreme Court today dismisses the election petition against the DMK Leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi from the Thoothukudi Lok Sabha constituency.

The bench of Justice Ajay Rastogi & Justice Bela M Trivedi dismissed the election petition filed against Kanimozhi’s election that allowed an appeal filed in this regard by Kanimozhi challenging a Madras High Court’s order declining to cancel the petition for the election.

Senior Advocate P Wilson who appeared for the appellant, submitted lead of election petition, raising a grievance over the non-mention of her husband’s PAN details in her affidavit disclosing assets, had been filed by a voter.

Therefore, it was pointed out that her husband was a foreign national and that didn’t have such a card or any income from activities in India.

Further, the respondents hadn’t justified their allegations.

In January 2020, the apex court ordered a stay on proceedings against Kanimozhi in the case and the order of High Court under challenge.
