Sunita Kejriwal approached the Court challenging the order issuing summons.
Senior Advocate Rebecca John appeared for the petitioner and told the High Court that as per the Representation of People Act, an offence is made out only if a person submits a false declaration and in this case, Khurana has not placed on record anything that proves a false declaration was made.
John argued that the summons was issued without proper application of mind.
“This is a private complaint. The magistrate, before issuing summons, the least he could have done was check with the election commission,” John stated.
