Representative image Bhopal: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed a ruling of the Madhya Pradesh HC’s Gwalior bench that annulled the 2024 bypoll victory of Congress MLA Mukesh Malhotra, reports Suchandana Gupta.The HC had invalidated the assembly bypoll outcome on a plea by Malhotra’s closest rival, BJP’s Ram Niwas Rawat, claiming that the former had not disclosed the criminal cases against him in his poll affidavit.Taking up Congress’s plea challenging the HC ruling, the SC upheld the status of Malhotra as MLA from Vijaypur constituency with conditions: He would not be allowed to cast his ballot during the RS polls, not participate in voting in the assembly polls, and not be able to draw his salary and perks as legislator or access funds under MLALADS. However, he will remain Vijaypur MLA till the SC delivers final verdict. tnnEnd of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Urgent Need For De-Escalation’: PM Modi Speaks To French President Macron On West Asia ConflictMEA Receives Consular Access Request After Arrest Of Six Ukrainians By NIA’Condemnable’: PM Modi Dials Jordan’s King, Slams Attacks On Energy Infra In West Asia’Including Russia’: MEA’s Key Message On India’s LPG, Crude Oil Sourcing Amid Global Energy Crisis’Clandestine Nuclear Nonproliferation’: India Reacts To US Intel Chief’s Remarks On Pakistan’Concerning, But No Shortage’: Centre On LPG Situation, Warns Against Hoarding & Black MarketingSC Flags “Very Unusual” Situation, Seeks Remedy Over Mamata ‘Obstructing’ ED ChargeWar, Oil & Economy: Big Risks Ahead for India Explained’India Doing The Right Thing’: Congress Backs Modi Govt On Iran War, Tewari Says ‘Not Our War’Karti Chidambaram on TN Polls: ‘Stalin Way Ahead, Vijay’s Star Power Not Enough, BJP Has No Ground’123PhotostoriesEssential things that were actually invented by women7 spiritual handmade items you can make at home for positive energyEating healthy but still gaining weight?
