Danam Nagender has approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay on the Telangana High Court order that disqualified him from contesting elections.
Former Telangana minister Danam Nagender filed a petition in the Supreme Court asking for an immediate stay on the disqualification order issued by the Telangana High Court. The high court had barred Nagender from contesting upcoming elections, prompting him to seek judicial relief at the apex court.
Nagender’s legal team contended that the disqualification was premature and that the procedural grounds cited by the high court did not warrant a ban on his candidature. They argued that the petitioner should be allowed to participate in the electoral process pending a full hearing.
The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing to consider the stay application, but has not yet ruled on the matter. The outcome will determine whether Nagender can contest the elections while the legal challenge proceeds.
The case underscores the increasing number of legal disputes surrounding candidate eligibility in Telangana’s political arena, reflecting broader tensions between party leaders and the judiciary.
