💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court refused to entertain former union minister Maneka Gandhi's plea against the 45-day limitation imposed for filing an election petition under the Representation of the People Act, stating that courts cannot legislate and open floodgates. The court, however, issued notice to Samajwadi Party's Ram Bhual Nishad, challenging his election from the Sultanpur Lok Sabha seat in 2024.
