Needs Medical Help': Delhi High Court Raps Litigant Who Sought Disqualification Of Prime Minister Narendra Modi From Contesting Elections

The Delhi High Court criticized a litigant for filing a frivolous plea seeking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's disqualification from contesting elections. The court imposed a fine of Rs. 1 lakh, highlighting that such petitions waste judicial time and resources. The petitioner alleged that PM Modi didn't disclose the exact amount of his income in election affidavits. However, the court found no merit in the plea, citing that the discrepancy in the disclosed income was due to the inclusion of exempted income. The judge emphasized that election petitions should focus on substantial issues rather than trivial discrepancies, urging litigants to respect the judicial process and refrain from abusing legal procedures.
