SC To Hear BJP's Plea Against Calcutta HC Order On Advertisements During LS Polls Today
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a plea filed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) challenging a Calcutta High Court order that had refused to interfere with a single-judge verdict restraining the party from issuing advertisements that are allegedly "violative" of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) during the Lok Sabha polls.
According to the cause list of May 27 uploaded on the apex court website, a vacation bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and K V Viswanathan is scheduled to hear the plea. Notably, on May 22, a division bench of the high court said it was not inclined to entertain the appeal against the interim order passed by the single-judge bench.
The single-judge bench on May 20 had restrained the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from publishing advertisements that violated the MCC until June 4, the day the Lok Sabha poll results are scheduled to be declared.
The court had also restrained the saffron party from publishing the advertisements mentioned by the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, in its petition claiming unverified allegations against it and its workers.
Telangana MLC Bypoll On Monday
The bypoll to the Telangana Legislative Council from Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Graduates’ constituency is scheduled to be held on May 27 (Monday) for which the campaign by contestants ended on Saturday. The byelection was necessitated following the resignation of sitting BRS MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy who won the Assembly polls from the Jangaon constituency on November 30 last year.
The Congress party nominated Chinthapandu Naveen alias Teenmar Mallanna and BJP fielded G Premender Reddy, while A Rakesh Reddy is BRS’ contestant.
Counting of votes will be taken up on June 5. Over 4.6 lakh graduates from the constituency are expected to exercise their franchise on Monday.
