Karnataka polls: Supreme Court rejects PIL to disqualify Congress candidates

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday orally observed that the Congress party promising in its election manifesto in Karnataka Assembly polls to eradicate social and educational backwardness to a community would not amount to an appeal in the name of religion. Making this observation a Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud dismissed a PIL filed by Pramod Muthalik, Rashtriya Hindu Sena chief to disqualify Congress candidates who are seeking votes in the name of religion. Needless to say, after the election is complete from all angles, if the petitioners feel aggrieved, they can take recourse to statutory remedy as provided under the Representation of the People Act, 1951.” Counsel Vishnu Shankar Jain appearing for the petitioner submitted that the Congress in its election manifesto had promised many things for minorities and it would amount to seeking votes in the name of election. We cannot interfere at this stage.” Counsel then asked them to intervene, saying “as today they are seeking votes by promising things for minorities, tomorrow it will be for majority.” He said the Congress promises schools and hospitals for minorities, establishment of Madrasa Boards, Christian Development Board, Constitution of Waqf Property Development Corporation etc.
