The Gauhati High Court on April 18 dismissed a writ petition by two-time MP Naba Sarania, challenging a State Level Scrutiny Committee's order striking down his Scheduled Tribe (Plains) status.
A single-judge bench of Justice S K Medhi delivered the order, Assam’s advocate general Devajit Saikia told PTI.
"The honourable court dismissed his writ petition, and did not give him any further relief, effectively debarring him from contesting from any constituency that is reserved for ST or other categories," Mr. Saikia said.
