Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora has urged the State Election Commission to disqualify candidates in upcoming civic polls for using digital signatures on nomination forms A and B, instead of physical signatures. Deora argues this deviates from mandatory procedures, rendering the forms invalid and nominations unlawful. He contends that accepting digitally signed forms sets a dangerous precedent. The State Election Commissioner noted that scrutiny is handled by returning officers, who are quasi-judicial, and that Form B requires a physical signature.
