Justice B. Krishna Mohan of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday dismissed a writ petition that challenged the allotment of ‘glass tumbler’ as the election symbol to the Jana Sena Party (JSP).
The petition was filed by Rashtriya Praja Congress (Secular) Party president Meda Srinivas, who is based in Rajamahendravaram.
He had raised an objection to the allotment of ‘glass tumbler’ by the Election Commission of India (ECI) as a common symbol to JSP for contesting in all the 175 Assembly constituencies, saying that its decision was in violation of the Election Symbols (Reservation & Allotment) Order, 1968.
