The plea, filed through Senior Advocate Pramila Nesargi, has challenged the election of Siddaramaiah from the Varuna constituency under Sections 100 (1)(b), (d)(i), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), and (d)(iv) of The Representation of the People Act.
The petitioner alleged that the CM committed various corrupt practices under Sections 123(1)(A)(b)(ii), 123(1)(B)(b), 123(2), 123(4) and 123(6) of the Act.
The petitioner sought that Siddaramaiah’s election be rendered void and that he be debarred from contesting elections for six years due to his violation of the provisions of the Act and the Constitution.
