The Karnataka High Court issued notice to the Election Commission of India on a petition questioning acceptance of nomination papers of Suraj Revanna, son of JD(S) leader HD Revanna, for the Council polls.
The petitioner, Harish KL, a member of the Kunduru Grama Panchayat, Hassan district has complained that Mr. Suraj Revanna had not declared his marital status besides not disclosing the assets and liabilities of his wife and other dependents in the declaration filed along with the nomination papers.
Hearing the petition filed by K L Harish, Justice M Nagaprasanna ordered the notice.
It was alleged in the petition that Suraj is not qualified to contest the election as per the Representation of People Act, as he had stated in his affidavit filed along with his nomination papers that Column No.4 (details of income of family members-spouse) is ‘Not Applicable’. But he has married to one Sagarika in 2017 and has deliberately not provided any information about his marital status nor disclosed the assets and liabilities of his wife or dependent.
It was also pointed out that Suraj declared he is the partner of Chennambika Convention Hall in Holenarasipur, but he deliberately suppressed the information regarding the operation of the current account.
