NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will on Friday hear Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan’s plea against her nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha election from Madhya Pradesh being rejected.
A partial working day (PWD) bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Atul S Chandurkar, however, also asked how the petition was maintainable in the midst of the ongoing electoral process.
Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Natarajan, urged the bench to consider the unlisted mentioning of her plea on the ground that the nomination paper was wrongly rejected by the returning officer citing alleged non-disclosure of a criminal case under the Representation of People Act.
