Indore Court Cancels Ward 60 Corporator's Election
In Indore, a court canceled the election of Sunehra Ansari, the Ward 60 corporator, because she didn't tell the truth about her assets and other important details in her election papers.
Iftekhar Ansari, who filed the complaint, said she hid information about properties and taxes.
The court agreed that she lied but didn't find enough proof for other claims like misleading campaign material.
The court said her election is invalid, but it didn't declare Yasmeen Ansari as the winner because there's no proof she would have won if Sunehra hadn't run.
Indore District Court canceled Sunehra Ansari's election as Ward 60 corporator for submitting a false affidavit.
Iftekhar Ansari filed the petition alleging concealment of assets, liabilities, and municipal dues.
The court found sufficient evidence of false and incomplete information in the affidavit.
Allegations of corrupt electoral practices were not proven.
The court directed the judgment to be sent to the district election officer and the Indore Municipal Corporation commissioner for action.
