Supreme Court to Hear AAP Leader's Plea Against Election Petition

The Supreme Court is set to hear AAP leader Durgesh Pathak's plea challenging the validity of a petition against his 2022 electoral win in Delhi's Rajinder Nagar. Filed by Rajan Tiwari, the petition alleges Pathak engaged in corrupt practices and failed to disclose crucial information during his candidacy.

The Supreme Court is poised to scrutinize a plea submitted by Durgesh Pathak, a prominent member of the Aam Aadmi Party, aiming to dismiss a petition challenging his election to the Rajinder Nagar Assembly seat.

This development follows allegations from petitioner Rajan Tiwari regarding Pathak's engagement in unethical electoral strategies during the 2022 bypolls.

Key accusations include non-disclosure of criminal charges, maintaining an 'office of profit', and inaccurately reported financial details. The case highlights ongoing contentions surrounding electoral integrity and transparency in political processes.
