Supreme Court Upholds Electoral Disclosure Rules Amid Form 6 and 26 Disputes
The Supreme Court dismissed Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan's petition challenging her Rajya Sabha nomination rejection due to nondisclosure of a pending criminal complaint in Form 26. This highlights legal obligations for electoral disclosures under the Representation of the People Act. Separately, a dispute arose over the Election Commission's addition of a Special Intensive Revision declaration linked to Form 6 for voter registration. The Supreme Court upheld this declaration, though some Election Commissioners questioned its procedural validity without formal rule amendments.
