Supreme Court Rejects Bhupesh Baghel's Plea, Orders Election Trial to Proceed
The Supreme Court rejected former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel's plea challenging a High Court order that declined to frame a preliminary issue on the maintainability of an election petition filed by BJP leader Vijay Baghel against his 2023 Patan assembly win. The court emphasized timely resolution of election petitions and dismissed arguments for delaying the trial, noting that objections about limitation should have been raised earlier. The trial will proceed as ordered by the court.
