Live Law  

The Supreme Court today issued notice on senior BJP leader Maneka Gandhi's plea challenging the election of Samajwadi Party MP Ram Bhuwal Nishad from the Sultanpur Lok Sabha constituency. Issuing notice on the appeal, arising out of an Allahabad High Court judgment which dismissed Gandhi's election petition as barred by limitation, the Court gave 4 week's time to respondent-Ram Bhuwal Nishad to file counter-affidavit. Insofar as Luthra asserted that the Supreme Court "legislated" in Hukumdev case, Justice Kant expressed that this argument could be available in the civil appeal filed by Gandhi, but not in the writ petition. Challenging Nishad's election, Gandhi filed an election petition before the Allahabad High Court, with a seven-day delay.
