SC refuses to hear Maneka Gandhi's plea against 45-day cap for filing election petition
The Supreme Court denied Maneka Gandhi's request to extend the 45-day filing limit for election petitions. The court issued a notice to challenge Ram Bhual Nishad's election from the Sultanpur Lok Sabha seat. Gandhi argued the time limit should be revisited as Nishad did not disclose his full criminal history and the petition was dismissed as time-barred.
