The petitioner Bibhutibhusan Mohapatra had filed the writ petition in the nature of public interest litigation seeking to declare Section 69 (ii) of Representation of People’s Act, 1951 as unconstitutional to have a fair election.
The court described the petitioner as a meddlesome interloper who deliberately tried to consume the time of court with a vested interest.
Rasilaben Kharadi from Aravalli district had filed the petition, demanding termination from government service of her daughter-in-law, Chetna Ninama as she had lied about her marital status and provided false information, following which, she secured government employment through the Gujarat Public Services Commission (GPSC). Therefore, her appointment should be cancelled.
