💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court dismissed a challenge to Chirag Paswan's election from the Hajipur Lok Sabha seat in Bihar, citing lack of territorial jurisdiction. The petitioner, a survivor of sexual assault, claimed Paswan concealed his "criminal antecedent" at the time of nomination, which violates the Representation of People Act. The court allowed the petitioner to seek other legal remedies.
