Lok Sabha Elections – SC Dismiss The Case Against ECI

The Supreme Court, on the 8th of May, dismissed the case filed by the Indian National Congress (INC) against the Election Commission of India (ECI.)

Sushmita Dev, a Lawmaker of the INC, filed a petition against the ECI, which gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over every speech and violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC.)

A bench of judges led by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi said the SC cannot continue the case and get into the orders passed by the ECI until the orders were challenged on specific grounds.

Now when the SC dismissed the case, the INC has to file a new petition to restart the case against the ECI, which allegedly supports the Bharatiya Janata Party.
