Just in: The Supreme Court stays EC proceedings against former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan.
Chavan had filed a petition challenging an EC notice after it began proceedings against him following complaints by BJP leaders that he incurred a poll expenditure of only Rs11,000 during the election. The complainants alleged that Chavan paid a huge amount to several newspapers for favourable coverage during the election.
