PRAYAGRAJ, April 3 -- The Allahabad high court has dismissed an election petition filed against Samajwadi Party MP Mohibullah Nadvi, who was elected from Uttar Pradesh's Rampur constituency, holding that it disclosed no cause of action. Justice CK Rai rejected the petition filed by BJP candidate Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi, observing that the plea failed to establish grounds for challenging the election. Lodhi had alleged corrupt practices under Section 123(7) of The Representation of the People Act, 1951, and improper acceptance of Nadvi's nomination papers, claiming discrepancies between his name in PAN records and electoral rolls. Mohibullah, however, moved an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of Civil Procedure Code, seeking dismissal of the petition on the ground that it did not disclose any cause of action. He submitted that he had filed an affidavit before the Election Commission in this regard in the year 2024 clarifying the issue, and denied any corrupt practice under Section 123 (7) of The Representation of People Act, 1951. In its order dated March 31, the court dismissed the election petition while observing, "Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances of the case, the application under Order 7 Rule 11 of C.P.C. is allowed and election petition is dismissed for non-disclosure of any cause of action."...
