Rajasthan HC Dismisses Petition Over Barmer District Council Ward 35 Nomination Cancellation

On Sunday, the Rajasthan High Court convened a special session despite a holiday to hear a petition linked to the Barmer district council elections. The petition was lodged by a Congress candidate whose nomination for Ward 35 had been disqualified by the election authorities, and he sought judicial relief to reinstate his candidacy. After examining the submissions, the bench dismissed the petition, thereby upholding the earlier decision to cancel the nomination. The court did not grant any further relief, allowing the scheduled election in Ward 35 to proceed without the petitioner’s participation.
