The Supreme Court, while dismissing a petition, said that there would be chaos if the Supreme Court started hearing petitions against the rejection of nomination papers in elections. In fact, Jawahar Kumar Jha of Bihar wanted to contest the elections from the Bakan parliamentary constituency. He also filed as an independent candidate but his nomination was rejected. He filed a petition against this to the Supreme Court.
The rules of the Election Commission must be followed
According to media reports, a bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice JB Pardiwala, while hearing the case, said there will be chaos if we start considering petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution against rejection of nomination papers. However, he allowed his advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava to find suitable legal remedies. During the hearing, the CJI said that even if we issue a notice and hear the case, it will go beyond elections. The rules of the Election Commission must be followed. Therefore, we are not ready to hear this petition.
