CJI SA Bobde led bench to shortly hear a plea seeking directions to the Election Commission to nullify the election results and hold fresh polls if maximum votes have been polled in favour of NOTA in a particular constituency
#SupremeCourt @ECISVEEP
Plea by @AshwiniUpadhyay seeks directions to restrict the contesting candidates from taking part in the fresh election, who have participated in the nullified election.
#elections
Dr Menaka Guruswamy: we have approached authority, we did not hear back

CJI: if a political party due to its influence have candidates rejected then seats will remain unfilled in parliament. What will you do then
Dr Guruswamy: An article 32 plea is mounted here because NOTA needs to be reflected

CJi: If there are certain number of NOTA and person is rejected then that constituency will go unrepresented. How will parliament work then
Dr Guruswamy: The very fact that you have right to reject it will enforce political parties such candidates who will not be rejected

CJi: underlying suggestion is difficult to accept. How can elections be freshly held.
