The plea challenging Rahul Gandhi's election from Wayanad constituency has been withdrawn from the Allahabad High Court. The petitioner, Dharam Pal Singh, cited personal reasons for withdrawing the petition. The bench, led by Justice Vivek Agarwal, allowed the withdrawal and disposed of the matter accordingly. Singh had alleged discrepancies in Gandhi's nomination papers regarding his citizenship and educational qualifications. Earlier, the Election Commission had dismissed similar complaints during the scrutiny of Gandhi's nomination. This development marks the end of the legal challenge against Rahul Gandhi's election from Wayanad in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
