Delhi high court: The Delhi High Court dismissed the petition seeking to bar PM Modi from contesting the elections.
As Lok Sabha elections are being held in 7 phases across the country, all party leaders including BJP and Congress are engaged in intense election campaign. Opposition parties including BJP and Congress take turns criticizing each other during the election campaign.
As a result, a complaint has been lodged with the Election Commission against both the party leaders. In this context, lawyer Anand S Jondale had filed a case in the Delhi High Court on the 15th that Prime Minister Modi should be barred from contesting elections for 6 years for his religious lobbying.

As Delhi High Court Judge Sachin Dutta was on leave, the hearing on the case was adjourned for today.
The hearing on the case seeking to ban Prime Minister Modi from contesting the elections was held today in the Delhi High Court. Since this petition is not meritorious and cannot be directed to Election Commission of India in this regard, this petition is held to be completely misplaced Petition to ban Prime Minister Modi Judge dismissed.
