Mumbai, April 17 -- The Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court on Thursday issued a notice returnable on May eight to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on an election petition challenging his 2024 win from the Nagpur South-West assembly seat.
During the hearing of the petition, Justice Pravin Patil issued notice in response to the plea moved by defeated Congress candidate Prafulla Vinodrao Gudadhe, alleging procedural lapses and corrupt practices during the state assembly election, in which the petitioner had lost to Fadnavis by a margin of 39,710 votes.
Gudadhe urged the court to declare Fadnavis' victory as "null and void".
