1. Karnataka High Court declares Prajwal Revanna’s Lok Sabha win ‘null and void’
The High Court of Karnataka on September 1, declared as null and void the election of Prajwal Revanna of Janata Dal (Secular) from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency in the 2019 general elections, for indulging in corrupt practices during the poll process.
The Court also rejected the plea of A. Manju, who had then unsuccessfully contested from the Bhartiya Janata Party, to declare him as a returned candidate in place of Mr. Prajwal. The Court said that it cannot declare Mr. Manju as the returned candidate as he too had indulged in corrupt practices.
