SC upholds election of JD-U MP unseated by HC

February 01, 2012 14:12

The Supreme Court today upheld the election of Janata Dal-United member of Parliament Mangani Lal Mandal, setting aside the Patna high court verdict unseating the Bihar parliamentarian for not disclosing information about his first wife and her property.

A bench headed by Justice RM Lodha also imposed a cost of Rs 1 lakh on the voter who had challenged Mandal's election, as he failed to convince the apex court that the MP's failure to disclose the information had "materially" affected the election.
