Bewilderingly, the contempt plea against Rahul Gandhi was not listed as per the SC's order and it will be now heard on the 10th of May along with the Rafale review petitions.
Supreme Court (SC) headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi dismissed the review petition filed by 21 opposition parties combined for the review of its decision in case of 50% verification of voting by VVPAT
The Supreme Court, on May 2, had asked the Election Commission to consider the plea seeking to change the poll timings from 7 AM to 5 AM during Ramzan coinciding with the last three phases of the Lok Sabha elections.
The petition says that till the matter of British citizenship and eligibility to contest elections is subjudiced before the central govt, nomination of Rahul Gandhi as a candidate from Amethi should be cancelled in the interest of justice
