The Hindu  

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea of Aam Aadmi Party leader Durgesh Pathak for the dismissal of a petition challenging his election from Delhi's Rajinder Nagar Assembly seat in a 2022 bypoll. A bench headed by Justice Surya Kant is scheduled to hear the plea, in which it has sought the response of one Rajan Tiwari, who has challenged Mr. Pathak's election before the Delhi High Court. Mr. Pathak has challenged the July 8 last year order of the high court by which it had refused to dismiss Mr. Tiwari's petition. In his petition before the high court, Mr. Tiwari has challenged Mr. Pathak's election as an MLA from the Rajinder Nagar constituency here in the June 2022 bypolls, alleging that he indulged in corrupt practices. Mr. Tiwari, who has claimed to be a voter of Rajinder Nagar, challenged Mr. Pathak's election on the grounds of non-disclosure of criminal antecedents, holding an office of profit on the date of the scrutiny of his nomination, suppression of income-tax returns for financial year 2019-20 and disclosure of an incorrect valuation of shares in a company in the nomination form.
