A court has dismissed a plea by an AIMIM member challenging the rejection of his nomination papers for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls. The candidate, Mohammed Anwar Abdullah Shaikh, claimed his nomination was arbitrarily rejected, violating his rights. The court ruled it lacked jurisdiction to hear the challenge before election completion, noting the returning officer's decision was final at this stage. Shaikh alleged disorganization and malpractice at the nomination center, claiming others were allowed to make changes while his were rejected.
