Poll affidavit case: Be present in court on Jan 24, Fadnavis told

January 04, 2020 20:18

A court in Nagpur on Saturday granted exemption from appearance to BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in a complaint seeking criminal proceedings for non-disclosure of cases against him in his election affidavit.

Chief judicial magistrate RM Satav posted the matter for hearing on January 24.

The court, however, said, "The accused shall remain present before the court on the next date without fail and no exemption shall be granted on the next date."

This is the second time Fadnavis sought exemption from appearing before the court.

Fadnavis' advocate Uday Dable, on Friday, told the court the former CM was busy in campaigning for and monitoring

Zilla Parishad elections in Maharashtra.

The court is hearing a complaint application filed by one Satish Uke seeking initiation of criminal proceedings against Fadnavis for alleged non-disclosure of two cases registered against him in his 2014 election affidavit.
